RockOn is a digital logbook for tracking climbing ascents and attempts. The backend API uses Ruby on Rails with a PostgreSQL database. The frontend repo can be found here.
View the demo here or visit rockonapp.com.
Ruby 2.7.1
To run locally, download or clone the repository, then run 'bundle install' to install required gems.
bundle install
To create the database, install PostgreSQL and run 'rails db:create'
rails db:create
Run migrations to create the tables:
rails db:migrate
RockOn's climb data is seeded using Mountain Project's API. To gather the route ids necessary for use in the API fetch, I used Nokogiri to scrape Mountain Project for area and route ids. The scraping script is located at /app/jobs/get_mtnproject_ids.rb and can be run using Rails runner:
rails runner app/jobs/get_mtnproject_ids.rb
To obtain an API key for Mountain Project, to to mountainproject.com and create an account. Request an API key at their data page. Once you have obtained a key, it will appear there.
Set up your own configuration for storing and using your private key, then change line 129 in /app/jobs/call_mtnproject_api.rb to use your stored key.
Seed the database using that script:
rails runner app/jobs/call_mtnproject_api.rb
You will also need to set up your own configuration for a secret to use when encrypting JSON web tokens. Create and configure your secret, then replace Rails.application.secret_key_base at lines 5 and 18 in /app/controllers/application_controller.rb with your secret.
Run 'rails s' to start a local server:
rails s
Navigate to your locally hosted client to start logging!
