This was the Week 4 project at Makers Academy. It is a bookmark manager application, similar to pineapple.io or delicious.com in spirit.
The live version of the site is available here.
The focus of the week was to learn how to use relational databases and how to integrate them into a web framework with an object relational mapper. A bookmark manager is a good use case for exploring how relational databases work, with its basic functionality being as follows:
- Allow a user to add links
- Show a list of links from the database and who added them
- Add tags to the links
- Filter links by a tag
We also learnt important principles of website security, including:
- Allow a user to sign up, sign in and sign out
- Preventing duplication registrations
- Password encryption
- Password validation
- Automated password reset emails and tokens
- Ruby
- Sinatra
- PostgreSQL
- DataMapper
- Bcrypt
- RSpec
- Capybara
- HTML
- CSS
