This is a fullstack ruby on rails Admin Panel for a ficticious school. Created with the Devise Gem for authentication, AJAX rendering for content creation, and Polymorphic inheretance for three different user types on the Postgresql database. Has essential CRUD functionality, and room to build out Post-MVP bells and whistles.
This project has met the core requirements for my NYCDA assignment, but has a lot of room to build out more robust features. CRUD works for Courses, Cohorts, Students, Teachers, and Admins. The three different user types have different levels of access to the panel, for example only Admins can add students to a Cohort, or create new user accounts.
This is my first time building out a Rails application, so navigating the structure proved educational. I worked to break down my project into smaller pieces, partial files, and single components for single functions.
The database is a simple Postgresql relational database, I used Postico to help visualize the relationships during the build out, as well as extensive ERDs. Rails worked well with the PG Gem and was clear to troubleshoot in the build out. Certain tables depend on others existing first. For example, you need to create Courses and Teachers before you can have Cohorts, as well as have Cohorts and Students before you can have Members. Members functions as a join table for Students and Cohorts to determine which students are in which Cohorts.
The main functionality of the page is achieved through using AJAX to update the Postgresql database, Devise to authenticate users, Rollbar to handle errors on the backend, and Bootstrap with jQuery for page styling.
The admin panel has Courses in individual subjects, cohorts of each course, teachers of cohorts, students of cohorts, and administrators to manage the functions of the school. I began framing out user notes, MTA updates via the API, weather updates via an API, direct messaging, and an open message board/help line. These have not be finished and are yet to be deployed.
class User < ApplicationRecord
# Include default devise modules. Others available are:
# :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
# Polymorphic relationship structure
belongs_to :user_type, polymorphic: true
end
class Admin < ApplicationRecord
has_many :admin_notes, dependent: :destroy
# Polymorphic relationship structure
has_one :user, as: :user_type, autosave: true, dependent: :destroy
endAt the moment, only Admin can add usertypes to accounts, and creating an account from log in will not work as expected. Once logged in, create courses, teachers, cohorts, and students. Edit them, delete them, or find other things the page should have.
This project was made possible thanks to Ruby Gems Bootstrap Rails Devise and Google Fonts.
