yourwaste-ie

A rails app that powers waste.civictech.ie.

Local development

I'm assuming you have rbenv or rvm set up? And homebrew?

Next, install PostgreSQL and redis and start both services:

brew install postgresql
brew install redis

Now clone the repo, install the dependencies, and set up the db.

git clone https://github.com/civictech-ie/yourwaste-ie
bundle install
bundle exec rake db:create
bundle exec rake db:migrate
bundle exec rake db:seed

The .env.sample file has the environment variables you'll need to get started:

cp .env.sample .env

Get the thing running:

heroku local

and, optionally for live reloading:

guard

And then head to http://localhost:5000.

Tests

Run the tests before committing code (and write a few):

rake

Credentials

You'll need to set a Google API key in a credentials.yml file or get the master.key file from another contributor (email brian@civictech.ie and I'll respond promptly!).

Seed data

The app can be seeded from a properly formatted Google Sheets document (assuming you're credentialed per the above section).

Running rake db:seed will fetch the data from Google Sheets and insert it into the app's Postgresql database. Note: this will replace any existing data you have in the local database.
