Overview

Inspired by the present moment I chose to model my domain on popular petition websites like Change.org and MoveOn.org

A user can join manually via the form or through an OAuth strategy via Facebook.

From onboarding they can create petitions and sign the authored_petitions of other users. Signatures act as joins between users and petitions with extra fields of a message and boolean that determines whether your name and message are displayed in association with a petition that you’ve signed.

Built With

• Ruby on Rails (RESTful routes)
• PostgreSQL
• Facebook OmniAuth Gem

Installation

1. clone this repo onto your machine
2. run bundle exec install to download/install dependencies
3. change any environment variables in your deployment environmont or from your own .env file that you create in the root folder (in particular any environment variables having to do with Facebook OAuth)
4. rails db:create && rails db:migrate to create and set up your PostgreSQL schema
5. I've provided some seed data in seeds.rb, but feel free to change this to make it your own: run rails db:seed to seed DB from said file
6. start server with rails s or rails s --binding=0.0.0.0 to access app from another device on your local network
