Knit Wits

Knit Wits is a Rails application that allows users to browse local Colorado handmade knits, add items to their cart, checkout, and view their orders. It also allows an administrator to view a variety of analytics about their users, items, and orders. It was built by Turing students Max Stackhouse, Katy Welyzcko, and Zachary Landes.

Basic Application Setup

In Terminal:

• git clone https://github.com/katyjane8/knit-wits.git
• cd knit-wits.
• bundle install
• rails db:create to create database
• rails db:migrate to migrate database
• rails db:seed to seed database with default data
• rails server
• open in browser: "http://localhost:3000/"

Seed File

Create new Dataset with: ruby db/seed_runner.rb

or specify number of users, orders and line items: ruby db/seed_runner.rb #_of_users #_of_orders #_of_line_items

After new dataset is created run: rails db:reset

The seed_runner.rb file controls the number of users, orders and order_items. It utilizes the faker gem to create dummy data. To generate a new dataset of users, orders and order_items you need to run ruby db/seed_runner.rb from the root directory. The script can also be run to generate a dataset with a specified set of values ruby db/seed_runner.rb #_of_users #_of_orders #_of_line_items.

items.csv and categories.csv were items added to the webapp manually, then exported into a csv. The images for products are connected to images in assets/images/products. There are no generators for items, the need to be added through the web app.
