Beehouse

Overview

beehouse is a prototype web app for the Bee Guardian Foundation charity.

It is built using Rails 3.2 and Ruby 1.9.3.

Its uses the Wicked state machine gem to guide user input, and rails_admin for admin functions and CMS.

It can be easily deployed to Heroku.

Up and running

This assumes you have Ruby 1.9.3 installed using rbenv or rvm, and MySQL running.

git clone https://github.com/woodpigeon/beehouse
cd beehouse
bundle install
mv config/application.example.yml config/application.yml 

The app uses figaro for injecting ENV variables. Open application.yaml and amend db_user and db_password (instead of updating database.yml).

Now run:

bundle exec rake db:setup
bundle exec rails s

Running tests

Initialise the test database with

bundle exec rake db:test:prepare

and run tests with

bundle exec rspec

Alternatively, for faster tests, install and use Zeus. In a separate terminal window or tab run

zeus start

and then run tests with

zeus test spec

Deploying to Heroku

heroku create
git push heroku master
heroku run 'rake db:migrate'
heroku run 'rake db:seed'
heroku open
