EC 3. Make your post able to be either a text or a photo by using polymorphic association

Make your post able to be either a text OR a photo by using a polymorphic association (so users can still like or comment on it while being none-the-wiser).

Not really sure what this means?

EC 2. Use the Active Storage to allow users to upload a photo to their profile

Active Storage

1. Use PostgreSQL to set up project

See the Heroku Docs for setup info.

Also

"Build the new PostgreSQL Rails app $ rails new odin-facebook --database=postgresql, initialize the Git repo and update the README to link back to this page."

11. Post's index (home) page should display posts from current user's friends too

Treat the Posts Index page like the real Facebook’s “Timeline” feature – show all the recent posts from the current user and users she is friends with.

• - [ ] Add some logic to the index page that finds all of current users friends
• Then, it should display the 20 most recent posts ordered by date time

7. Users can create Posts (text only to start)

• Create post model
• New post can be created on the home/index page
• It automatically gets pushed to the news feed (using turbo streams?)
• When user creates post, it posts to the home/index page news feed
• Posts should display with author and post content (to start)
• User can delete a post if it is theirs

5. A User must accept the Friend Request to become friends & 6. Friend Requests appear in notification section

• Create a nav bar with a notifications link
• Set up associations for notification model. User has_many notifications and notification belongs_to user?
• Create a notifications view #index should work
• Test this view. It should contain text "Notification Center"
• Display all notifications
• Option to accept or delete friend request
• Test to make sure that once a friend_request is accepted, User.friends returns that friend

2. Users must sign in to see anything except the sign in page.

• Generate the static controller for logging in (Maybe check how you did this in the members only project)
• Create Routes.
• Default route should be this sign in page, Unless user is signed in (can add that complexity later?)
• Create the sign in view
• Install and use bootstrap for styling

13. The User show page contains their Profile info, photo, and posts

16. and 18. Set up mailer to send welcome email when new user signs up.

• Use Letter Opener
• Set up SendGrid with Heroku

8. Users can like posts

• Create a button with an icon on each post
• It should have a hover effect
• It should have a click effect
• I don't think I need a likes model
• Maybe I need a likes controller that handles the state?
• Or I could add a likes method in the post controller or model to keep count
• When user likes a post, the button stays the hover color
• It displays how many users like this post
• User can unlike a post by clicking the like button again

4. Users can send Friend Requests to other Users

• Set up associations on the User model
• This is a has many and belongs to many association. However, we will probably want to use a has_many through association like we did in the private events project The same way you can send invites and you must be invited and accept to attend.
• Something like User.friend_requests should work
• Left sidebar links for now
• Timeline: post#index
• Profile: user#show
• Friend Requests: invitation#index
• Find Friends: user#index

9. Users can comment on posts

• Add comments model
• Set up comment associations
• A post has many comments and a comment belongs to a post
• The micro reddit project will be a good reference
• There may be some nested routes involved here
• User can delete their own comments
• EXTRA
• User can like comments

10. Posts should always display with the post content, author, comments, and likes

• All of these instance variables have to make their way to the index view.
• EXTRA
• Add a "See Comments" button that toggles seeing the comments if there are any.

17. Deploy your App to Heroku

3. User sign-in should use Devise gem & 15. Sign in should use OmniAuth

• Install Devise
• User can sign in without OmniAuth
• Create a nav bar
• User can sign out
• Research OmniAuth again to make sure you know how it works.
• See: "See the RailsCast on FB authentication with Devise"
• And see: TOP Omni Auth
• If user signs in, flash notice a success message. Test that that message shows up
• Install RSpec and Capybara and Faker and Factory Bot
• Test that it won't work if it's broken
• Push and publish to heroku early

14. The Users index page lists all users and bottons for sending friend requests

The Users Index page lists all users and buttons for sending Friend Requests to those who are not already friends or who don’t already have a pending request.

18. Style everything!

12. Users can create a Profile with their personal information and a photo

• Should this be done with a static page?

• User should have a page where they can edit their profile information

• They should be able to upload a photo for their profile picture

• You can user Gravatar for this photo
