Website: Poison

Step1: Deciding type of website

I was thinking either making dog website or cocktail website since I love both of them. I ended up deciding cocktail website.

TheCocktailDB API: https://www.thecocktaildb.com/api.php

Step2: Getting Data

I want to get all the cocktails so I used my base as List all cocktails by first letter (https://www.thecocktaildb.com/api/json/v1/1/search.php?f=a) and changed f= as all the alphabet characters. I used gem 'httparty'.

@base_endpoint= "https://www.thecocktaildb.com/api/json/v1/1/search.php?f="
def get_cocktails_data
      char=[*('a'..'z')]
      #delete u and x since api doesn't contain any cocktail.
      char.delete('u') 
      char.delete('x')
      char.each do |alphabet|
        cocktail_url=@base_endpoint+alphabet
        cocktails_array=HTTParty.get(cocktail_url)["drinks"]
        self.create_cocktail_objects(cocktails_array)
      end
end

Step3: Making database

Using rake and sqlite3, created tables(cocktails, users) and added data that I got from API.

rake db:create_migration NAME=create_cocktails
rake db:create_migration NAME=create_users

class CreateCocktails < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.2]
  def change
    create_table :cocktails do |t|
      t.string :name
      t.string :glass
      t.string :ingredient
      t.string :instruction
      t.string :image
    end
  end
end

class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.2]
  def change
    create_table :users do |t|
      t.string :name
      t.date :birthday
      t.string :email
      t.string :password_digest

      t.timestamps
    end
  end
end

rake db:migrate
rake db:seed

Step4: Building MVC

Model

cocktail.rb (belongs_to user)
user.rb (has_many cocktails)

View

layout.erb
welcome.erb
index.erb
users: new.erb
sessions: new.erb
cocktails:

edit.erb
index.erb
new.erb
show.erb

Controller

application_controller.rb
cocktail_controller.rb
sessions_controller.rb
users_controller.rb

Step5: CRUD(Create, Read, Update, Delete)

Create

get '/cocktails/new' do
        redirect_if_not_logged_in
        erb :'cocktails/new'
end

post '/cocktails' do
        cocktail = current_user.cocktails.build(params[:cocktail])

        if cocktail.save
            redirect "/cocktails/#{cocktail.id}"
        else
            flash[:error] = "#{cocktail.errors.full_messages.join(", ")}"
            redirect "/cocktails/new"
        end
end

Read

get '/cocktails' do
        @cocktails = current_user.cocktails
        erb :'cocktails/index'
end

get '/cocktails/:id' do
        @cocktail=Cocktail.find(params[:id])
        erb :'cocktails/show'
end

Update

get '/cocktails/:id/edit' do
        erb :'cocktails/edit'
end

patch '/cocktails/:id' do
        redirect_if_not_logged_in
        redirect_if_not_authorized

        if @cocktail.update(params["cocktail"])
            redirect "/cocktails/#{@cocktail.id}"
        else
            redirect "/cocktails/#{@cocktail.id}/edit"
        end
end

Delete

delete "/cocktails/:id" do
        @cocktail.destroy
        redirect "/cocktails"
end

Step6: Front-end (Making look nicer)

I used below links mostly to make my website look nicer and I got help from Laura Berge and Eriberto Guzman (thank you).

Bootstrap: https://getbootstrap.com/

W3schools: https://www.w3schools.com/

Future

I will make another join table called party which users can share their cocktail list to make a shopping list for the party.
