Functionality to implement:

• Drive the creation of your app using tests - either cucumber or rspec as you prefer
• Use data mapper and postgres to save the data.
• You don't have to be logged in to see the peeps.
• Makers sign up to chitter with their email, password, name and a user name (e.g. sam@makersacademy.com, s3cr3t, Samuel Russell Hampden Joseph, tansaku).
• The username and email must be unique.
• Peeps (posts to chitter) have the name of the maker and their user handle.
• Use bcrypt to secure the passwords.
• You only can peep if you are logged in.
• Please ensure that you update your README to indicate the technologies used, and give instructions on how to install and run the tests
• Finally submit a pull request before Monday at 9am with your solution or partial solution. However much or little amount of code you wrote please please please submit a pull request before Monday at 9am

Notes on submission

• Listed Peeps

Uncompleted functionality:

• Maker can peep as themselves only

Additional Notes: EDIT

---

• I would fix the view errors that initially allowed for unique users peeps
• I would emove redundant data from the users table
• I would improve the sign-up workflow
• I would have finished implementing the Log in & out functionality
• I would have applied some decent styling to the app.

Instructions to download and run the app:

• Fork this repo

$ git clone https://github.com/tansaku/chitter_challenge
$ bundle
$bundle update
$ rake auto_migrate
$ rspec
$ rackup

Please ensure you have the following AT THE TOP of your spec_helper.rb in order to have test coverage stats generated on your pull request:

require 'simplecov'
require 'simplecov-console'
SimpleCov.formatter = SimpleCov::Formatter::MultiFormatter.new([
  SimpleCov::Formatter::Console,
  # Want a nice code coverage website? Uncomment this next line!
  # SimpleCov::Formatter::HTMLFormatter
])
SimpleCov.start

• To run the app on a local server, open an additional tab on your terminal and run the following:

$ rackup

Visit

http://localhost:9292/chitter

Otherwise you can run the app via the deployed version on heroku here You should now be able to interact with the app.

Code reviewed against the following:

• All tests passing
• High Test coverage (>95% is good)
• The code is elegant: every class has a clear responsibility, methods are short etc.

Reviewers will potentially be using this code review rubric. Referring to this rubric in advance may make the challenge somewhat easier. You should be the judge of how much challenge you want this weekend.
