Technical overview

The backend is a Ruby on Rails JSON API. It is backed by a Postgresql database.

The frontend is a React app. It uses Redux for state management, Redux Loop for effects management, and CSS Next for styling.

Setup

Ensure you have NodeJS v4 or higher and Ruby v2.2 installed on your computer.

You will also need the postgresql database installed and running.

make install                # Install dependencies
bundle exec rake db:create  # Create the database
bundle exec rake db:migrate # Migrate the database

Frontend dev

make test           # Test the front end
make test-watch     # Run the test watcher

bundle exec rails s # Run the backend
make dev            # Run the frontend dev server
# Now go to localhost:8080

Backend dev

bundle exec rake    # Test the backend
bundle exec guard   # Run the test watcher

make build          # Compile the frontend
bundle exec rails s # Run the backend
