CloudBnB

CloudBnB is an AirBnB clone, developed by six students at Makers Academy as a one-week engineering project. The program is developed in Ruby, using Sinatra, and tested with RSpec. Active Records was used to set the database.

Set up

How to run the program

Before running this program make sure you have Ruby installed on your machine by typing in your terminal:

ruby -v

Otherwise, you can install it by following the instructions reported on the Ruby website

Run the server by typing:

rackup

Better to do this in a separate terminal.

Set the database

To set up the database on your local machine:

# make sure all dependencies are downloaded
bundle install

# create the databases on your machine
rake db:create

# create the tables from our migrations
rake db:migrate
rake db:migrate RACK_ENV="test"

# populate the tables with test data
rake db:seed
rake db:seed RACK_ENV="test"

Now if you check the tables in TablePlus you should see that the databases have been added (for both development and for test) and that the tables are now populated with dummy data.

Tests

To run the tests you will need to install rspec on your console:

gem install bundler
bundle add rspec

then you can run the tests by typing:

rspec

from the root directory of the project.

Process

We started designing our program starting from some user stories:

Then we designed our database system:

From those, we started to build our MVP

In action

Here are some screens of our final product:
