leisuredeals

This Project is a Xapix.io demo Project. Watch it live at www.leisuredeals.net.

It's Rails 4.2 and uses xapix_client as the only backend connetion (no DB). If you wonder why there is a DB config still, it's because Heroku requires a database, so we had to setup a FREE one.

Without access to our XapiX.io project you won't be able to run this out of the box, but feel free to use it as a blue print.

# config/initializers/xapix.rb

XapixClient.configure do |config|
  config.project_name = ENV['XAPIX_PROJECT_NAME']
  config.auth_token = ENV['XAPIX_AUTH_TOKEN']
end

# app/models/local_deal.rb

# On XapiX.io we created on project 'leisuredeals' an Output Endpoint 'local_deals'.

  def index
    @deals = LocalDeal.order(:score).page(1).per(15)
