Create a product catalog using Ruby on Rails (or simply Rails), GraphQL Client, and Contentstack's GraphQL APIs.

About Contentstack: Contentstack is a headless CMS with an API-first approach that puts content at the centre. It is designed to simplify the process of publication by separating code from content.

About this project: This sample app is a professional website built using Rails and Contentstack.

Prerequisites

• Ruby
• Rails Framework
• GraphQL Client
• Contentstack account
• Basic knowledge of Contentstack

Perform the steps given below to get started.

• To get your app up and running quickly, you need to download it and change the configuration. Download the app using the command given below:

$ git clone https://github.com/contentstack/contentstack-ruby-graphql-example.git 

• Once you have downloaded the project, add your Contentstack API Key, Delivery Token, and Environment name to the project. (Learn how to find your Stack's API Key and Delivery Token. Read more about Environments).

• Now create a secrets.yml file inside the config folder and enter your credentials as shown below:

 development:
    host: <HOST_NAME>
    api_key: <API_KEY>
    delivery_token: <DELIVERY_TOKEN>
    environment: <ENVIRONMENT_NAME> 

Note: You should set Host name to GraphQL URLs for Contentstack. For example 'graphql.contentstack.com'.

• Run the app by using the following command:

$ rails server

This command will start the app. Open the browser and go to http://localhost:3000 where you will find the Rails welcome page.
