#SHOUTER SHOUTER is a breakable toy that is the angriest (or most enthusiastic) version of Twitter. Imagine capitalized text ALL THE TIME! ENTER SHOUTER, ENSURING YOUR INTENTIONS ARE CLEARLY SHOWN WITHOUT HAVING TO KEEP YOUR FINGER ON THE SHIFT BUTTON!

#CODE STYLE SHOUTER was created to experiment with various coding practices, often with Sandi Metz in mind. To enforce her guidelines, design patterns such as law of demeter and the facade pattern were used.

EXAMPLE:

From the view:

<%= form_for @home.new_text_shout do |form| %>
  <%= form.text_field :body, placeholder: "Shout something!" %>
  <%= form.submit "SHOUT!" %>
<% end %>

<%= form_for @home.new_photo_shout do |form| %>
  <%= form.file_field :image %>
  <%= form.submit "SHARE!"%>
<% end %>

<%= render @home.all_shouts %>

To the controller:

class HomesController < ApplicationController
  def show
    @home = Home.new(current_user)
  end
end

To a model, specifically designed to handle logic that does not need to persist into the database:

class Home
  def initialize(user)
    @user = user
  end

  def new_text_shout
    TextShout.new
  end

  def new_photo_shout
    PhotoShout.new
  end

  def all_shouts
    Shout.all
  end
end

#TESTING

SHOUTER uses RSpec, Capybara, and FactoryGirl.

Here is an example of a test I did for the TextShout model:

require "rails_helper"

RSpec.describe TextShout, type: :model do
  it { should validate_presence_of(:body) }
  it { should_not allow_value("", nil).for(:body) }

  it { should have_one(:shout).dependent(:destroy) }

  describe "#upcase_body" do
    it "Forces the text to be all capital letters" do
      text_shout = TextShout.create(body: "hello")

      expect(text_shout.body).to eq "HELLO"
    end
  end
end

Here's the test I did for the corresponding view:

require "rails_helper"

feature "User submits a text shout" do
  before :each do
    when_signed_in
  end

  scenario "with content" do
    fill_in "Shout something!", with: "hi!"
    click_on "SHOUT!"

    expect(page).to have_content "HI!"
    expect(page).to have_css ".shout, #shout_1"
  end

  scenario "without content and sees a flash notice" do
    fill_in "Shout something!", with: ""
    click_on "SHOUT!"

    expect(page).to have_content "Nothing was shouted"
  end
end
