This is an Address Book application I'm working on to learn more about:
- fullstack development
- building APIs with GraphQL
I feel like I send a "what's your address again?" text at least once a week. Sure, I could use an existing application to keep track of friends' addresses... but where's the fun in that?
A user of this application can login and create one or more AddressBooks. AddressBooks can be labeled with a category (like 'grad school friends', 'family', 'co-workers', 'climbers', etc). Currently, each contact belongs to one AddressBook.
Minimal set of necessary features include: adding / removing a contact, adding / removing an AddressBook (and all associated contacts), adding BasicAuth for multi-tenancy, viewing all contacts in an AddressBook, viewing upcoming birthdays of contacts.
- add User (i.e., Contact) & AddressBook models
- implement minimal API endpoints for User (create, index)
- implement minimal API endpoints for AddressBook
- implement basic "login" route & component that uses simple caching for now
- add basic erb for displaying all contacts / users in an AddressBook
- add component for displaying all contacts / users in an AddressBook
- add component for create contact / user form
- use Balsamiq or another tool to create some wireframes for fun
- rename User to Contact?
- refactor to use graphql
- deploy to Heroku
- add metrics to track unique visits / page views?
- add forms for creating new address books & users
- add Devise for authentication
- add protect_from_forgery where needed
