An app for creating Choose Your Own Adventure stories

Local Development

With Docker

cp config/database.yml.example-docker config/database.yml

touch config/master.key
# This is a gitignored file which acts as the key to the encrypted/commited `config/credentials.yml` file.
# Copy/paste the password into the new config file:
# https://viget.1password.com/vaults/all/allitems/546kllhiv5ehtdsn2rhvt4q56y

Build / Run

If you're building the docker containers for the first time, or if you know a dependency has been added (eg: ruby gem / node package), run this:

docker compose build

Once the containers have been built, starting the app is just:

docker compose up

# And a shortcut for rebuilding containers while spinning them up at the same time:
docker compose up --build

Seeding the database

docker compose run --rm app bundle exec rake db:migrate
docker compose run --rm app bundle exec rake db:seed

Running tests

# Set up the test database
docker compose run --rm -e RAILS_ENV=test app rake db:create db:migrate

# Run specs
docker-compose run --rm app rspec
