getstream/stream-example-rails

An example app built using getstream.io

Stream Example App

This example app shows you how you can use GetStream.io to build a site similar to Pinterest.

If you have no idea what GetStream is: GetStream is an hosted API service that allows you to build activity feeds. It makes it very easy to build user activity feeds, public feeds, aggregated feeds and notification feeds. GetStream provides API clients in several language, in this example app we show how easy is to create a website with activity feeds using Rails and stream_rails.

The application is built using Rails 5; and stream_rails the best way to try this application is via Heroku; you can deploy this example (for free) on Heroku by pressing the Deploy button below.

If you prefer to run this locally then make sure to generate the API keys on GetStream.io and update the settings in config/initializers/stream_rails.rb

More informations and code samples are available in stream_rails documentation and in getstream.io documentation pages.

stream-example-rails's Issues

Some files should be removed

Thank you for the app! It helps very much!
Still there's a lot of empty files which just confuse people (at least me). I suggest removing these files to make the app cleaner and it would be taking less time to look through.

Here's the list of such files:

- helpers:
feeds_helper.rb
folows_helper.rb
items_helper.rb
landing_helper.rb
pins_helper.rb

- assets:
feeds.js.coffee
folows.js.coffee
items.js.coffee
landing.js.coffee
pins.js.coffee

- stylesheets:
feeds.css.scss
folows.css.scss
items.css.scss
landing.css.scss
pins.css.scss

Heroku deploy fails

The Ruby version you are trying to install does not exist on this stack.

! You are trying to install ruby-2.5.5 on heroku-20.

Setup app and stream_rails initializer file but not sending data to GetStream.io

Looks like pinning an object is working in the logs but nothing is getting sent to the GetStream.io. Dashboard still says "0 / 3M - Hacker"

Incorrect objects for retrieving flat and aggregated feeds

The methods flat and aggregated in feeds_controller, call the wrong objects: timeline_flat and timeline_aggregated to retrieve flat and aggregated feeds respectively.

These objects should be: [:flat] and [:aggregated] instead of [:timeline_flat] and [:timeline_aggregated]
