My goal with this project was to learn more about Active Record associations and experiment with some rails design patterns. It uses:
- RSpec, Capybara, and Factory Girl for testing
- user authentication with devise
- user authorization with pundit
- user roles with rolify
- ancestry for nested comments
- goldiloader for automatic eager loading
- pagination with will_paginate
- presenter design pattern for views
- Hacker News formula for post and comment ranking
- Faker data for database seeding
- Select2 jQuery select box for autocompleting tags via AJAX
- jQuery modals for displaying views with AJAX
