- To clone and run this application, you'll need Ruby 2.7.2 and Rails 2.5.3. Using rbenv you can install Ruby 2.7.2 (if you don't have it already) with:
rbenv install 2.7.2- With rbenv you can set up your Ruby version for a directory and all subdirectories within it. Change into a directory that will eventually contain this repo and then run:
rbenv local 2.7.2You can check that your Ruby version is correct with ruby -v
- Once you have verified your Ruby version is 2.7.2, check if you have Rails. From the command line:
rails -v- If you get a message saying rails is not installed or you do not have version 5.2.5, run
gem install rails --version 5.2.5- You may need to quit and restart your terminal session to see these changes show up
In the terminal
- Clone this repo:
git clone https://github.com/marlitas/ArtspirationFE.git- Install gems:
bundle install- Setup the database:
rails db:create
rails db:migrateWe integrated Google Oauth into the application as both a learning goal, and a way to make app functionality easier for the user. By using the gem omniauth, we also open more opportunities to integrate further Oauth providers into our app such as: facebook, twitter, github, and more.
To use artspiration you can visit our homepage and login with your google account. From there you will see a randomly chosen art piece, that will start to be curated by our recommendation engine after you have rated 4 pieces. Our images are sent through Google's Cloud Vision API, returning labels that we store and rank in our database. Our recommendation engine then uses a content-filtering methodology to predict art each user may like. A dot product algorithm runs through all categories a user has ranked and all categories associated with an art piece to calculate a recommendation score.
Through your dashboard you can access an index page that contains all the work you have liked in the past, as well as a show page for each image. Logout to end your session!
