A web application for managing the library and its operations. This was my project in the "CSC 517: Object Oriented Design and Development" course at NC State University.
Deployed a web application using Ruby on Rails and Heroku that allows students to checkout & return books, librarians to view overdue fines and admin to CRUD libraries, books, users and view borrowing history & fines. Integrated 3rd-party ruby gems like Devise and Pundit to make the app more functional.
- Heroku App Link: https://glacial-reaches-87041.herokuapp.com/
-
Ruby version: 2.6.3 : Rails version: 5.2.3
-
3rd-party gems used: Devise, Pundit, OAuth-Facebook
-
Database used: PostgreSQL
- Email: admin@admin.com | Password: admin
- Any user can login from the sign_in page, the homepage will be shown as per the role of the user - Student, Librarian, Admin, and will have the respective links to perform the tasks.
-
No student/librarian should access any private content associated with other student/librarian/admin's account.
-
All users can use their Facebook account to log into the system.
