readinglist's Issues

Add more books

Add more books with tags and full reviews.

Add a check so we can't duplicate books

Currently on http://chrisreads.herokuapp.com/, when you submit new books you run the risk of duplicating them. Before adding a book, check the database to see if the book is already there.

Add a link back

Add a link back to Kenst.com. Put it in the header

Get Genre's working, add tags

Get tags working including Genre.

Also add tags for books I've read and not read.

Change book list layout and styling

1. I'd like to change the layout of the book list so that we have multiple books per row with the reviews underneath them.
2. Can we order the books based on name
3. Make responsive

Update to Ruby 2.2.4

According to Heroku Ruby 2.0.0 has reached end of life and support will end at Heroku for pushing Ruby 2.0 apps February 24, 2017.

To migrate your app, you will need to add ruby "2.2.4" line to the top of your Gemfile if it doesn't already exist. From there, you can do a normal deploy:

$ git add Gemfile
$ git commit -m "Upgrading Ruby to 2.2.4"
$ git push heroku master

Kill Heroku deployment

Pull this off of Heroku and get up and running locally.

Build out unit and integration tests

1. Install capybara
2. Start writing unit tests
3. Get the PRs hooked up in CircleCI

Link books to detailed page

When clicking on the link to a book it should open a separate page on the books details. Single page view.

Populate more data using factories

1. Consider using FactoryGirl

Hide New Book Form

Hide the new book form behind some authentication / login so this app becomes more of a read-only site for the viewers

Clone this repo, make separate apps

I'd like two separate apps:

1. For an actual reading list that I can update, maintain, etc. Would be read-only to the public. Customized header, etc.
2. An app for testing exercises. One that would be able to add books to from the UI. Basic header.

Add logo to the Reading List header

As a part of the splitting for #9 let's add the CK logo to the header.

Add the ability to edit and delete books from the UI

Related to #3. After a book has been selected, add the ability to edit and delete the selected book.

Update Sprockets

• Update sprockets
• Current version has known vulnerabilities.

Build a container around this reading list

1. Rebuild the app in a docker container
2. Set up some seed data (or auto-populate the seed data)
3. Add some unit tests!
