Steps for Janrain:

create new user based on FB or Google (how to do with devise handling it?) and save janrain info to it
verify the token with Janrain and get more info from them
Maybe do a post request to janrain's servers and provide the created token?
If it's verified, sign in the user using devise's sign_in method (I think?)

 -------------------------------
         Architecture
 -------------------------------

 user
 app endpoint
 janrain

user signs in to janrain and gets a token (random string)
user sends token to app endpoint
app endpoint extracts the token from the POST
app endpoint sends the token + app key to janrain
janrain responds with additional information about the user (if it's a valid token)

      users
      |   |
      v   v
janrain <-- app endpoint --> create user --> sign in user --> redirect to main

##Install

This app uses Ruby version 2.2.

Download or fork the repository and bundle in terminal in order to use the required gems and dependencies.

Steps:

rake db:create:all

Then:

rake db:migrate

Then:

rake db:test:prepare

Run Rspec and it should all pass. Then you are ready to run rails server or rails s in the terminal. Go to localhost:3000 to use to program.

If you are starting from scratch, we first run: rails new folder_name -d postgresql -T

-d specifies postgres for the database. You can easily replace that with -d mysql

-T is to supposed to tell it not to use Rails default testing tools. You can leave it out if you want.

Fix up all files, database.yml, Rakefile, Gemfile to whatever you want. Then run bundle update.

rake db:create

rails generate rspec:install (If you are including this testing in your gemfile)
