Inventory tracking & point-of-sale for the CSSU
This is a Ruby on Rails app, consisting of four main components:
- A storefront: a public page where users can browse items sold by the CSSU, with the price, the number of items in stock, and the amount of reward points required to redeem each item.
- A customer portal: customers can log in to view their purchase history and reward points.
- A point-of-sale activity: CSSU execs can log in and sell items (snacks/drinks/merchandise) to customers by selecting one or more items and processing the payment. The customer has the option of providing their UTORid to collect reward points.
- An administration activity: CSSU execs with enough authorization can log in to view transaction history, manage users, edit the types of items sold by the CSSU, and adjust stock levels.

You need the following prerequisutes:
-
Ruby 2.1.2 (I recommend rbenv for managing ruby versions)
-
Bundler:
gem install bundler
The rest of the dependencies can be installed by running:
cd trackary/
bundle install
Start a local test server by running:
rails server
Finally, run Guard in the background to continuously run tests:
guard
We're using Dokku to deploy the website to a DigitalOcean server.
To add your public key to the server, send it to the sshcommand command on the server.
Assuming your public key is in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub:
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh [email protected] "sshcommand acl-add dokku <name>"
(Where <name> is any label you want for the key, probably your name)
Once your public ssh key has been added to Dokku, add the remote:
git remote add staging [email protected]:staging
Then, whenever you want to deploy, simply:
git push staging master
The site is live at http://staging.trackary.com
On the server, PostgreSQL is used as the database. See dokku-pg-plugin.
Follow the same instructions as above, but use the following remote:
git remote add production [email protected]:trackary.com
The site is live at https://trackary.com
