Project Setup

• For production, you need to replace the asterisk with the URL of your client-side application in ./config/initializers/cors.rb file.

1. Clone or download this repo
2. Run bundle install
3. Run rake db:create
4. Run bin/rails db:migrate RAILS_ENV=development
5. Run bin/rails db:seed RAILS_ENV=development
6. Run foreman start -f Procfile.dev
7. Visit --> http://localhost:5000/. That's it!.

Tools

• Run rubocop for Ruby lint.
• Run rubocop -a for fixed some issues automatically.
• Run reek . for analyzing code.
• Run brakeman for static analysis and for security vulnerabilities.
• Run rails_best_practices . in root app directory. Helps to find unused methods, missing indexes into database tables and many other things.

Annotate (aka AnnotateModels) usage

To annotate all your models, tests, fixtures, and factories:

cd /path/to/app
annotate

To annotate just your models, tests, and factories:

annotate --exclude fixtures

To annotate just your models:

annotate --exclude tests,fixtures,factories,serializers

To annotate routes.rb:

annotate --routes

To remove model/test/fixture/factory/serializer annotations:

annotate --delete

To remove routes.rb annotations:

annotate --routes --delete

To automatically annotate every time you run db:migrate, either run rails g annotate:install or add Annotate.load_tasks to your Rakefile. See the configuration in Rails section for more info.

Gitlab CI

• For showing models --> show-models.
• For showing routes --> show-routes.

Traceroute
