ChatMate is a Ruby on Rails web application that allows users to share messages with each other. Similar to Twitter, users can follow each other and view each other's posts in a feed.
To get started with the app, first follow the setup steps:
Next, clone the repo and cd into the directory:
$ git clone https://github.com/vijaypatidar99/ChatMate.git
$ cd ChatMate
Also make sure you’re using a compatible version of Node.js:
$ nvm install 16.13.0
$ node -v
v16.13.0
Then install the needed packages (while skipping any Ruby gems needed only in production):
$ yarn add jquery@3.5.1 bootstrap@3.4.1
$ gem install bundler -v 2.2.17
$ bundle _2.2.17_ config set --local without 'production'
$ bundle _2.2.17_ install
Next, migrate the database:
$ rails db:migrate
Finally, run the test suite to verify that everything is working correctly:
$ rails test
If the test suite passes, you’ll be ready to seed the database with sample users and run the app in a local server:
$ rails db:seed
$ rails server
Follow the instructions to view the app. You can then register a new user or log in as the sample administrative user with the email example@railstutorial.org and password foobar.
To examine the code, simply check out the corresponding branch using git checkout:
$ git checkout <branch name>
A full list of branch names appears as follows (preceded the number of the corresponding chapter in the book):
3. static-pages
4. rails-flavored-ruby
5. filling-in-layout
6. modeling-users
7. sign-up
8. basic-login
9. advanced-login
10. updating-users
11. account-activation
12. password-reset
13. user-microposts
14. following-users
For example, to check out the branch for Chapter 7, you would run this at the command line:
$ git checkout sign-up
