Workshops application

Hi! We think it’s great that you want to join along with Netguru to start learning Ruby on Rails. Taking part in workshops is also a great opportunity to start an internship with us and become one of the Netguru folks. Since you have just taken your first step on your adventure with programming in RoR, we challenge you to complete the following task. Ready, steady…Go!

Let’s start with a setup:

Source code

Don't fork the repository. Clone it (git clone git@github.com:netguru-training/workshops.git) and make a new one – we want all of you to have equal chances.

Database

Copy the database config file (and edit if needed): cp config/database.yml.sample config/database.yml

Make sure the user you've listed in database.yml is created for postgres: createuser -s -r workshops

Setup the database for your application (development and test environments): bin/rake db:setup bin/rake db:test:prepare

Issues to solve:

1. There are a few missing fields on the User model. Make sure spec/models/user_spec.rb passes.

2. Make sure settings for devise are configured properly. If they aren’t, most of the controller specs will fail:

• Most of the configuration changes require the server to be restarted.
• At some point you'll have to overwrite the default devise views - you can find all the required info in the gem readme.

3. Check spec/controllers/categories_controller_spec.rb - there should be a couple errors on actions checking admin presence.

4. Next up: Product model and spec/models/product_spec.rb. Play with validations a bit, calculate average rating and you'll be good to go.

5. Fix specs for Category model.

6. Fix specs for Review model.

7. You'll have to deal with ProductsController. Again, you'll have to check for permissions. Only a product owner should be able to make changes. Make sure to give the user a proper message when they try to perform forbidden actions.

8. Make sure ReviewDecorator is used properly, There's one action which needs to be declared there. See spec/decorators/review_decorator_spec.rb for details.

9. Check if each review is assigned to user who wrote it.

10. If some actions (like links to edit a page, create a new one) are not allowed for a particular user then please hide them in a template (for example with if).

11. In navigation bar insert links for guest users to login / # and for users that are already logged in - to logout.

12. Don't forget to check if application works in the browser :).

13. Unleash your design skills. Add some CSS to the application to make it prettier (we won't say it's ugly, but you know, it's not a beauty [YET!]). Please use Bootstrap 3 for styling, which is already added to application. Psss! Don't forget about styling devise views :).

14. Create user profile page (using Boostrap 3). Use your imagination about what should go there. You can start with name, email, etc.

15. On user profile list 5 last user's reviews with formated date (dd-mm-yy).

16. Fill seeds.rb with 5 accounts for user and one admin account to login and example category with products and reviews.

17. Make sure your project is available on Heroku with seeds data.

What disqualifies your application

1. Tests are not passing.

2. Website doesn't work on Heroku.

3. Design is not finished.
