Redux Saga Garden

An epic garden

Prerequisites

Before you get started, make sure you have the following software installed on your computer:

Create database and table

Create a new database called garden and create a plant table and add a few plants to your garden:

CREATE DATABASE "garden";

CREATE TABLE "plant" (
    "id" SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    "name" VARCHAR (100) NOT NULL,
    "kingdom" VARCHAR (100),
    "clade" VARCHAR (100),
    "order" VARCHAR (100),
    "family" VARCHAR (100),
    "subfamily" VARCHAR (100),
    "genus" VARCHAR (100)
);

INSERT INTO "plant" ("name", "kingdom", "clade", "order", "family", "subfamily", "genus")
VALUES ('Rose', 'Plantae', 'Angiosperms', 'Rosales', 'Rosaceae', 'Rosoideae', 'Rosa'),
('Tulip', 'Plantae', 'Angiosperms', 'Liliales', 'Liliaceae', 'Lilieae', 'Tulipa'),
('Oak', 'Plantae', 'Angiosperms', 'Fagales', 'Fagaceae', NULL, 'Quercus');

Development Setup Instructions

Run npm install
Start postgres if not running already by using brew services start postgresql
Run npm run server to start the server
Run npm run client to start the client
Navigate to localhost:3000

Lay of the Land

src/ contains the React application
public/ contains static assets for the client-side
build/ after you build the project, contains the transpiled code from src/ and public/ that will be viewed on the production site
server/ contains the Express App

Base Mode

Add the redux-logger middleware to the project for debugging
Add redux-sagas to the project to make an API request. The route http://localhost:5000/api/plant returns an array of plants. Display that array on the Garden component on load.
Add all of the plant fields to the form to allow adding a new plant to the database. The server post route to do this is available at http://localhost:5000/api/plant.
Add a Delete button for each plant to allow it to be removed from the database. The server delete route to do this is available at http://localhost:5000/api/plant/1, for the plant with the id of 1.

Stretch Goals

Add material-ui to the project to give the site an earthy color palette (green and brown?)
Use react-router so that when a user navigates to http://localhost:3000/#/plant/1 it displays the details for a given plant. The server get route to do this is available at http://localhost:5000/api/plant/1. Research URL Parameters for React Router
On the new detail view, allow editing the details for that plant. After a user changes the values on the DOM, the user should be able to click Save to allow it to be updated in the database. The server put route to do this is available at http://localhost:5000/api/plant for the plant with the id of 1.
Make the individual plant page editable (use inputs) and add a save button for each plant to allow it to be edited in the database.

Deployment

Create a new Heroku project
Link the Heroku project to the project GitHub Repo
Create an Herkoku Postgres database
Connect to the Heroku Postgres database from Postico
Create the necessary tables
In the deploy section, select manual deploy
