What I learned and felt from Rails Project Golf Tournament Registration

This is my third project.

Times flies! already 3 month passed? since I started this course.

This rails project was most interested project I have built so far.

Requirements 1

Also It’s most hardest one. Rails are kind of similar as Sinatra but there are a lot more than Sinatra.

since I am still leaning and new on rails. I had to spend a lot of time to built applications but I can guess that if you can get used to rails. It’s gonna be great weapon that you can build web app really quickly like MAGIC!

Requirement 2

the most hardest and most time consuming part was Project idea!! that meet this relationship

I have kept thinking and thinking while I was sleeping and even taking a shower.

I think it is because of I am not used to with 3 models structures. I got used to 2 models like has many and belongs to only. but not 3 models. All I know about 3 models was Artist-Song- Genre. but It’s not really factual. It’s kind of ambiguous.

I had to think some great idea something like Doctor-Appointment-Patient.

I have been built projects about golf so far. so I decided to keep the same topic “Golf” this time as well.

after spent few days to think about idea. I decided to make

User-Registration-Tournament. Since I have experience about Golf tournament. It was best fit for me.

Requirement 3

Validation

User model

Register model

Requirement 4

Scope method

scope method on register model

I have added search feature that can search certain registration by age.

also it can be ordered by age as well.

Requirement 5

I wanted to use “devise” gem for User Authentication. but registration is reserved word for “devise” so i had to change name from registration to register. but since there are some conflict crash happened. I changed my plan to use regular User Authentication instead of using “devise”.

Requirement 6

and I have added “omniauth” feature which makes you sign in with 3rd party account like Github, Facebook, or Google.

Requirement 7

nested resource

this nested resource allow me to use this routes like below

Routes

Requirement 8

error messages

enclosed within a field_with_errors

Requirement 9

Dry dry dry~!! do not repeat yourself!! always

I just reviewed what and how I built my application while writing this blog.

It’s amazing experience. I wish I build another apps like hobbies.

one great thing I found from this project was you can build applications from simple to complex, there is no limits to what you can accomplish using Rails.

Rails are awesome!
