For Local Development

1. Install Packages

bundle
yarn

2. Configure application environment variables

1. Copy example.env to .env.

   cp example.env .env
   

2. Update the values of DB_USERNAME and DB_PASSWORD in the new .env file.

   Use the same values from the previous step. The username should be postgres, and the password will be whatever value you've set.

The .env file contains environment variables that are used to configure the application. The file contains documentation explaining where you should source its values from. If you're just starting out, you shouldn't have to change any variables other than the ones listed above.

3. Setup and Run Server

rake db:setup
# run the following scripts concurrently
# in 2 terminals
bin/webpack-dev-server
rails server

#to run the tests
bundle exec rspec

#to run a specific test file
bundle exec rspec path/to/spec/file.rb #(eg: bundle exec rspec spec/system/home/index_spec.rb)

General Notes

• We use UUIDs instead of integer ids. This helps us create IDs from the client-side, so records can be saved on a mobile device without internet, and can be synced to the server once it is online. Further reading: https://pawelurbanek.com/uuid-order-rails
