Créons la Coop (CLAC) 🌾

What's this app for:

An association ('Créons la Coop') located north of France has created a food co-op, inspired by Park Slope Food Coop. Members of this co-op need to use more efficient means of communication than just e-mail and phone. Members buy products from productors, and sell these products to themselves. Each member must give at least 3 hours/month of their time to the association.

• Communicate quickly, easily find relevant info, facilitate organisation

How?

• Forum to chat and get involved in decisions that need to be made
• General announcements and common administrative documents share
• Admin interface to manage resources in bulk

Theme

• Currently using Boomerang bootstrap theme
• If you want to use this app as it is, you must buy a Boomerang license. Otherwise, set up your own theme by deleting Boomerang resources from /vendor and asset pipeline. Libs and asset pipeline will be cleaned soon to facilitate this

Error Monitoring

Error monitoring is managed through Appsignal who graciously offered us a sponsored account, through their open source initiative, to allow us to track error and performance issues. Thank you Roy! I personally recommend their app for their reliability and ease of use, as I've used it already for around 40 other production Rails apps 👍

If another, or none, error reporting service is needed, we could add a Monitoring adapter to offer configuration options for this feature.

Contributions / set up

Any contributions would be very welcome. See projects tab if something interests you, or post an issue with a feature suggestion that you think would be useful considering the scope of this kind of app.

To get started:

• Choose one:
  • Docker Compose setup : $ docker-compose up to setup containers, DB, and launch server on localhost:3000. $ docker-compose down to unmount. You might need administrative privileges.
  • Manual setup: You need to install PostgreSQL. Then $ rails db:setup to create + migrate + seed DB, then $ rails server launch server on localhost:3000.
• The main branch is development, start your branch from there.
• Launch $ npm install if you want to setup git hooks via package.json
