This project is part of a series of projects to be completed by students of Microverse.
As a part of an iteration of project built ontop of one another, you can find specifications about the previous versions below:
v0.1.0 - 'Mostly Static Pages - Chapter 3' - Generation of static and some dynamic pages using Rails. Basic skeleton building of the web app with testing via Minitest and Guard.
v0.2.0 - 'Filling in the Layout - Chapter 5' - Utilisation of the Rails asset pipeline with Bootstrap and SCSS. Generation and routing of the sites pages and links. Testing for site routing added.
v0.3.0 - 'Modeling Users - Chapter 6' - Generation of user models and preliminary structuring of the sites database. Validations and password security implemented with more tests for each.
This project carries on from a previous finished project. Building upon 'Chapter 6 - Modelling Users', from the 'Michael Hartl Rails tutorials'. In this project, we focus on creating the long-awaited user sign-up page which allows for the creation of new users. This is all implemented with Rails form-builders.
- New sign-up forms allow for user creation and saving to the database in one go;
- Redirection to the users profile upon new user creation with flash notices;
- Profile gravatars;
- Validation errors upon signing up are now 'prettified' and displayed to the user
- Greater implementation of integration testing to verify submission behaviour and catch regressions
- SSL configuration for greater secruity and defaulting to Puma for a higher webserver capacity.
- Ruby 2.6.5
- Ruby on Rails 6.0.2.1
- Minitest 5.14.0
- Bootstrap-Sass 3.3.6
- Sass-Rails 6.0.0
- HTML5
- Rubocop 0.79.0
- Heroku 7.39.0
- Puma 3.4.0
