Voices of Consent is a nonprofit organization whose goal is to support survivors after a traumatic experience. Locally based, this nonprofit operates in 42 states to help survivors. In the aftermath of a traumatic event, Voices of Consent sends a box to a survivor who requests one.
Survivor Boxes are personalized packages put together to let survivors know they are not alone after an event, that include resources to use as survivors begin the recovery process (including information about laws in their state, free health and counseling services in their area).
Voices of Consent gets the word out to survivors by talking at schools and churches. The boxes are sent to survivors who request them directly, or can be picked up at hospitals or police stations.
Please check out https://www.voicesofconsent.org/what-we-do as well as the rest of the website to learn more about this organization.
Visit our CONTRIBUTING.md file for more information on making your contribution. We look forward to it.
We've started a few reference documents based on questions we've been asked. Make sure you also read our background.md, and check out the database-diagram.png all of which is located in the /notes folder in the repo.
Also located in the /notes folder is database-diagram.dot which is used to create the database diagram.png. If you want to edit this file and generate new versions of the database-diagram.png, visit http://graphviz.it/ and paste the code from your database-diagram.dot. Make sure you erase all the code on this website and replace it with the entire contents of your .dot file to see your diagram properly.
If you want to know more about how to update the database-diagram.png, please checkout Casey Watts' instructional post on graphviz at https://gist.github.com/caseywatts/be69bf941fa1f8e264bd07de698366a0.
If you have any questions please feel free to reach out in the Ruby for Good Slack or on Github so we can improve our references.
This is a Ruby on Rails 5.2 application with React + Webpack included.
To get started developing on your machine, you'll need the following tools installed:
- ruby 2.6
- node 10+
- yarn 1.16+
- bundler 2+
Some choices for how to run services in your development environment:
- Heroku Command Line Interface
- Docker Desktop to use the docker-compose steps or you will need to install these services individually on your development host:
- Redis 4+
- PostgreSQL 9.5+
- Mailcatcher 0.7.1
First, set up Local Services (Via Docker or individually installed services as described in the Starting Local Services section below.).
Then to run the app locally,
$ bundle install
$ yarn install
$ rake dev:setup
$ heroku local -f Procfile.dev
# if you chose the local route, then you are good to go on:
http://localhost:5000
$ rspec (to run the test suite)
# If you chose the Docker route:
$ docker-compose start -or- $ docker-compose up
http://localhost:3000
$ rspec (to run the test suite)
If you opted to install Docker Desktop, docker-compose start will run dependency services like PostgreSQL (the database), Redis (the job queue), and Mailcatcher (a fake SMTP mail server for testing). Services will run in the background. NOTE: these services will attempt to use some commonly used ports (e.g. 5432 for PostgreSQL) on localhost, so if you see errors about conflicting ports, you may have the corresponding service already running elsewhere on your development host.

Stop the services with docker-compose stop.
$ docker-compose stop

If you prefer to keep an eye on what these background services are doing (or whether they're up!), you can run docker-compose up instead of start to keep the processes in the foreground. You will need to dedicate a terminal window to this display and continue working on the project in a new terminal session. Stop the services with CTRL-C in the terminal they are running in.
$ docker-compose up

Ensure Redis is running. brew services start redis on macOS or redis-server to run it as a one-off process.
Ensure Postgres is running. We recommend Postgres.app for macOS if you don't already have it installed.
Mailcatcher cannot be bundled, for that reason we must use:
$ gem install mailcatcher
To get the MailCatcher gem's mail server up run:
$ mailcatcher
Go to http://localhost:1080/
Send mail through smtp://localhost:1025
You only need this if you're interested in working on emails in the development environment.
