Example application of a book store for CCS students

OnlineBookStore

This application was created as an example for CCS Fall 2018 students. This application is the goal of a 2-week deep dive into Rails. Students are expected to resolve the following spec:

As a user, I should be able to...

• Create an account
• Browse books (index/show)
• Browse authors (index/show)
• Purchase a book (from show view)
• Download the book in multiple formats (PDF, mobi, epub)
• Get an email after purchasing with a link to download book
• View all purchases and be able to download books as many times as needed

Setup

This app was generated using the following steps

1. Create a new Rails app, using postgresql as the database, skipping coffeescript, TestUnit, and installing react rails new <app-name> --database=postgresql --skip-coffee --skip-test --webpack=react

2. Update config/application.rb

This block goes inside the AppName::Application block to generate rspec files, and skip CSS and JS files when using the generators.

# customize generators
config.generators do |g|
  g.test_framework  :rspec, fixture: false
  g.stylesheets     false
  g.javascripts     false
end

3. Additional Gemfile setup

Add the following to the global scope:

gem 'devise', '~> 4.5.0’

Add the following to the test/development scope:

  gem 'pry-rails', '~> 0.3.6'
  gem 'rspec-rails', '~> 3.8.0'

Then run bundle install

4. Create databases rails db:create

5. Install rspec-rails rails generate rspec:install

6. Install devise and create User model rails g devise:install

Create the Devise user model and migration: rails g devise User

then run rails db:migrate
