Rentr is a sample Airbnb-style app for listing and reserving a room, apartment, or house.
This app was written by Robert Eshleman, Nick Narh and Charlie Massry as a team project for Metis.
In order to use Stripe for payments, you will need to set ENV variables with your Stripe credentials.
For the development and test environments, you can set these variables in the .env file in the project root.
A .env.sample file is provided for guidance:
# To get Stripe API keys, visit:
# https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/apikeys
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY: sk_test_bar
STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY: pk_test_foo
This app provides default seed data for property types (apartment, house, boat, tipi, etc.) and room types (entire home/apartment, private room, shared room).
You may modify the seed data by editing db/seeds.rb; alternatively, you may manually add your own types in Rails console.
Consider using Wikipedia's exhaustive List of House Types as a source for additional property types.
Create the database if you haven't already done so:
rake db:create
Run the migrations:
rake db:migrate
Then, load the seed data:
rake db:seed
If you make changes to db/seeds.rb, you can safely re-run rake db:seed without duplicating property types or room types in your database.
