CosMade (bEtsy) online retailer (version that works with FedAx API)
[b]Etsy will be an online store where a wide variety of products can be listed and sold by any user. In this project we will focus on reinforcing the major components of Rails, Model Validation, as well as introducing some more complex logic such as user authentication.
- Core comprehension of:
- Routes
- Controllers
- Models
- Views
- User based application logic
- User authentication
- Agile practices
- Group project ownership
- Groups of four will collaborate in pairs or individually
- Use a task manager like Trello to track your team's efforts
- Build a logical user-flow that moves across multiple controllers and models
- Use HTML/CSS to style your website.
- Do not use gems for user authentication (such as Devise)
- Do not use Rails
scaffold
generator (All other Rails generators are fine)
- As a group decide on an app name (this may help lead the aesthetic)
- As a group decide on a team name (this will amuse me)
- Create a branch on the master repo with your team name
- Have one person on your team fork/clone the project master as per usual.
- Figure out your workflow for the project, re: Git and Task management
Build an online system for listing, selling, reviewing, and buying a wide variety of products listed by multiple merchants.
As a guest to the website (not signed in) I can:

- Purchase the items in my cart, providing:
- Email Address
- Mailing Address
- Name on credit card

- Credit cart expiration
- Credit Card CVV (security code)
- Billing zip code
- Purchasing an order makes the following changes:

- Clears the current cart
- After purchasing an order, I can view a confirmation screen including:
- Each item in the order with a quantity and line-item subtotal

- The current status of the order
- Sign up to be a merchant, providing:

- Assign my products to any number of categories
- Retire a product from being sold, which hides it from browsing
- View an account page to edit/update my existing products
- View an account page showing my order fulfillment
- On the order fulfillment page:
- Total Revenue

- A list of orders including at least one of my products:
- Each order item sold by me with a quantity and line-item subtotal
- A link to the item description page

As a signed-in user, I cannot:
- Review my own products

Your final project must be deployed to Heroku. Your team will open a single pull request for the entire project. Include the link to your Heroku deployment in the PR's description.
Your README
file on your Github repo should contain a link to your live site.
Each team will have team leaders who are responsible for keeping track of each team member's contributions. Rotate leader roles at the beginning of every week; every team member should be in at least one leader role during the project.
- Stand Up Leader
- Takes notes about each person's daily report in Stand Up
- Keeps the meeting moving
- Task Leader
- Leads discussion on task assignment
- Decide if a task should be completed alone or in a pair
- Assign tasks based on...
- Individual comfort
- Desire
- Ability
- Ensures the task list stays up to date
- Leads discussion on task assignment
At the end of each day, the team leaders will prepare a report containing the Stand Up notes for that day and the last of Tasks completed or started that day. Email that report to your team's Project Manager.
In a real world work environment, a team's success is measured by their product as opposed to each individual's contribution.
Each team will present their progress and respond to questions from their Project Manager each Friday. Every team member will participate in these demos; the PM will ask specific questions regarding 1) the team's progress and plan for completing the project, 2) the technical decisions and implementation, and 3) every team member's understanding of the underlying technical structures.
