README

Connected Learning is a platform that helps parents to access mentors and online resources to support their children’s needs and wellbeing. The app is one of the solutions presented at the Women Driven Development #UKvsCovidHack

We placed the parent’s experience at the heart of the design, providing:

An easy-to-use landing page where parents can raise questions for mentors.
Simple registration so busy parents can submit requests quickly. An offline SMS journey for parents who do not have access to the internet.
UI for parents who do not speak English to increase accessibility.

Prerequisites

Backend (this repo)

Ruby on Rails API / device for authentication

Ruby version 2.6.1
git clone https://github.com/inesgs12/connect-educate-backend.git
cd connect-educate-backend
git checkout dev
gem install rails
bundle install
rails db:migrate
rails db: seed if you want to start working with some data
rails s (this will start your server on port 3000)

API Endpoints

To link frontend & backend read the following:

Frontend

React & Redux

git clone https://github.com/WinSanPang/connect-educate-frontend.git
cd connect-educate-frontend
yarn install && yarn start (this will start your server on port 3001)

To Do's

Please check both repos (front and backend) for raised issues. We achieved so much during the hackathon but there's still a lot to do!

One of our priorities is to link backend and frontend properly.
Deploy both repos to heroku: we think there is an issue with our db being sqlite and also have a single-inheritance table for users.
