This application is intended to serve as the starting point for a basic pair programming interview.
We use a .ruby-version and .ruby-gemset file to indicate to your local
Ruby version manager the correct version of Ruby to use. Refer to those files
if you're manually managing your Ruby installation.
We use PostgreSQL 15 as our primary persistence store. On Mac OS, use Homebrew to install PostgreSQL 15.
brew install postgresql@15
brew services start postgresql@15
To install Rubygem dependencies, simply use Bundler:
bundle install
You may need to give Bundler some help to locate your local PostgreSQL installation:
# Intel Mac
bundle config build.pg --with-pg-config=/usr/local/opt/postgresql@15/bin/pg_config
# Apple Silicon Mac
bundle config build.pg --with-pg-config=/opt/homebrew/opt/postgresql@15/bin/pg_config
Verify the pg_config path above with your local installation - it may differ.
To get your local database setup, use the built-in Rails database management commands:
bin/rails db:create db:migrate db:seed
Refer to the config/database.yml file for details on the local database name
and connection information.
Since we use the tailwindcss-rails gem to pull in the Tailwind CSS library,
the local development environment requires two separate process: the normal
Rails server process and a local Tailwind process. To start them, run:
bin/dev
