Jungle

A mini e-commerce application built with legacy Rails 4.2 that allows users and admin to create an account, purchase items via Stripe API, and --as the admin-- add unique products to the PG database, along with enabling or disabling site-wide sales with defined start and times.

The purpose of this project was to demonstrate my ability to jump into a legacy code base, adapt to older versions of the stack (Rails 4.2, Bootstrap 3, etc.) and continue to integrate new functionality and features in a minimally disruptive manner to the production level code.

Highlights

• MPA and MVC patterned design using Rails
• Data is persisted by DB server using PostgreSQL
• Uses SASS for styling and Bootstrap 3

Getting Started

1. Run bundle install to install dependencies
2. Create config/database.yml by copying config/database.example.yml
3. Create config/secrets.yml by copying config/secrets.example.yml
4. Run bin/rake db:reset to create, load and seed db
5. Create .env file based on .env.example
6. Sign up for a Stripe account
7. Put Stripe (test) keys into appropriate .env vars
8. Run `bin/rails s' to start the server
