PROJECT BikeUs

PROJECT GOALS

1. Create an API using Rails that possesses full CRUD functionalities.

• POST creates:
• GET :
• PUT :
• DELETE :

2. Create a React.js application that presents the API's data in a user-friendly way.

APPROACH

The Idea: If you live in a city, you may not have the space for a bike or a safe place to lock it up. For example, if you live on the 20th floor of an apartment building, where can you put your bike?

Problem solved with RentMyBike, a lending/renting service for bicycle rentals. This will allow customers to ride together with friends when you don't have a bike.

Type of Site: Delivery

Key Functions:

Form that allows a user to book a bike for a certain number of hours at a certain hourly rate, and stores that in a database. User must input their name, address etc. Product details page that shows the bikes and tells you more about the different add-ons, like helmets and other protections. Social media integration with Instagram that shows all the awesome places people have BikeUs at. A checkout process and payments system with Stripe so users can complete the process.
