This is a web application that shows a dynamically created map of places that my Cisco coworkers and I have deemed worthy of eating at around the San Jose campus. It's responsive, meaning that it will look great on computers, smartphones and tablets. This map will benefit not only employees at Cisco, but also people around the Bay Area.

Ruby version

So far, I have tested the app on both Ruby 1.9.3, 2.0.0 and 2.1.0 successfully. Your mileage may vary when using otherwise.

System dependencies

RailsInstaller is a good place to start if you're missing something.

Configuration

Configuration to deal with Heroku's MongoHQ platform is the following: url = ENV['MONGOHQ_URL'] || 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/ciscochef'

Since I did not deploy a Mongo ORM like mongoid yet, the implication is that you will need to execute mongoimport --db ciscochef --collection places --file test.json --jsonArray in an existing mongo server process on your computer. To learn more about MongoDB, click here for documentation.

How to run the test suite

bundle exec rspec spec should have a complete test suite that runs successfully on the environment of your choice, given that you have already done the necessary import of JSON data.

Deployment instructions

bundle install should get all the necessary dependencies. Do not include Gemfile.lock when you push on Windows - it will cause Travis CI to fail as mentioned here.

rails s should do the trick - defaulting the port over to 3000. If you need a different port, then do rails s -p ${PORT}. If you want to use foreman, feel free to do foreman start instead. This most closely reflects the production environment on Heroku. One note for Windows users: make sure to use only foreman version 0.61, since anything above that particular version is incompatible with Windows.
