##Install

This app is used in connection with Sinatra and ActiveRecord. You do not have to run Rails.

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

Naturally this should all you need to do:

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 ruby app.rb in the terminal. Go to localhost:4567 to use to program.

If you are starting from scratch you should first make an important folder: 'config' -- with a database.yml file inside it.

In your yml file will be :

development:
  adapter: postgresql
  database: shoe_store_development

test:
  adapter: postgresql
  database: shoe_store_test

Make sure those are lined up correctly. If you put the adapter and database words aligned to the left wall of the text editor, your database will only make the development database and ignore everything else under it.

Run rake db:create

then: rake db:test:prepare

This will create the main and test databases.

In terminal we run:

rake db:create_migration NAME=create_brands

Next we will run:

rake db:create_migration NAME=create_stores

Lastly we will run:

rake db:create_migration NAME=create_shoes

A db folder with a sub folder called migrate with migration files will automatically be created.

Check the repository files for more information on what to insert in those files, lib folder, spec set up, Rakefile, Gemfile,and views.

After you have completed those run:

rake db:migrate

and

rake db:test:prepare

This will update your test database for specs. You should always update your test database after creating a new migration and adding in new specs.

As a shoe store "manager" or "cashier", I want to be able to see what date the shoe was purchased.

These might be features which to add in the shoe class and shoes table in the database. I need a purchased_date field, color, and size column at least.
