Users can also add additional users as hosts to any of their spaces. An admin can access and edit all info through and Admin Dashboard as well as manage approvals for new spaces submitted by hosts.
You can find a live version of this application on Heroku at: https://wookienights.herokuapp.com/

Some of the main features of the app include:
Users can browse the spaces by planet. Each space has a name, description, image, and price associated with it. Users can reserve spaces into their cart. Users do not need to be signed in to browse items but do need to be logged in to reserve a space. A space must be approved by the platform admin before it is available for reservations. Users view any of their past reservations and their listings.
Admins can create and edit spaces. This includes managing each spaces approval status.
Paperclip and Amazon Web Services S3: Stores and hosts any image uploads. Twitter: Single Sign On and Social Media integration. Stripe: Payment.
The test suite tests the application on multiple levels. To run all of the tests, run rspec from the terminal in the main directory of the project. The feature tests rely mainly on the capybara gem for navigating the various application views.
The project also utilizes leverages a bootstrap theme called 'twitter bootstrap'.
This application depends on many ruby gems, all of which are found in the Gemfile and can be installed by running bundle install from the terminal in the main directory of the project. The app also relies on Twitter, Stripe, and AWS API keys, which must be provided on a per-site-admin basis.
