To-do Ruby Sinatra web app with a Postgres DB

Sinatra Todos—Database

Database persistent Sinatra-backed ruby web application for creating, viewing, editing, and deleting to-do lists and their respective to-dos.

This is a todo list manager powered by Sinatra and PostgreSQL. It offers permanent database persistence, multiple todo lists, each with their own todos, and editable todos & todo lists.

Installation

To be able to run this server locally, you must have PostgreSQL installed on your machine. To do this, enter these commands (for Debian-based GNU/Linux users):

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev
$ sudo -u postgres createuser --superuser $USER
# ^^ So you can connect to the server
$ sudo -u postgres createdb $USER
# ^^ To create a defaut database for use with the `psql` command

And optionally, to save your psql history, enter this command:

$ touch ~/.psql_history

Instructions for installing PostgreSQL can be found on Launch School’s installation instructions.

After you have psql set up, follow these instructions:

1. Clone this repository (git clone https://github.com/johnisom/sinatra_todos_database)
2. cd into the repository (cd sinatra_todos_database)
3. Install dependencies (bundle install)
   • If you don’t have ruby-2.6.5, install it
4. Create the database schema:

$ echo 'create database todos;' | psql
$ psql todos < schema.sql

5. Run the server locally (bundle exec rackup)
6. Enjoy your todo app at http://localhost:9292/
