This web app is a simple site where visitors are able to see a list of 'wishes' to be fulfilled on the landing page. Each 'wish' has a specific animal and a toy attributed to it. Each donation funds the wish. When the wish is fully funded, the toy will be sent to the animal and a new wish will be selected to then be displayed on the landing page.
Donors will be emailed when the animal receives the toy. The receiving zookeeper will be prompted to upload a picture of the animal with the new toy. This picture will be displayed in the thank you email to every donor who helped fund that wish.
With Ruby already installed, run bundle install in the root directory. If you don't have Ruby, install it, then run gem install bundler so you can run bundle install.
This is using Postgresql for the database. Make sure Postgres is installed on your machine and running before migrating or seeding.
In the root directory, run rails db:migrate then rails db:seed.
The server is started by the command rails server. Use the '-p' flag to specify which port to run on. The local development build of the React App is pulling the API from port 3001.
rails server -p 3001
Resources can be accessed as an API using RESTful routes ('/animals', '/wishes/active', etc). The routes for this branch ('js-concept-backend') are:
GET '/wishes/active' POST '/wishes/:id/reset_donations' POST '/donations' GET '/wishes/reset_active_wishes'
This is the first Rails app I created. As such, you may find code that is redundant, repetitive, or doesn't follow convention. There is plenty of code that is not currently being used by the frontend concept that was built to accompany this, or commented out so features like authentication could be built later. The main branch will continue to be worked on to push to production, this branch may sit untouched for some time.
