# [She's Coding](http://shescoding.org)

This is the code for the [shescoding.org](http://shescoding.org) website.

### About *She's Coding*

*She's Coding* is an open-source website project currently under development in cooperation with the documentary film [CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap](http://www.codedoc.co/). She’s Coding is meant to serve as the destination for anyone who wants to learn more about the gender gap problem in computer science and become part of the solution.

**Open-source?**

Yes! *She's Coding* is built by the community, for the community. We currently have a small group of volunteers bootstrapping the project, and we are in the process of defining some simple rules on how to contribute for the wider community.

[Let us know](mailto:info@shescoding.org) if you want to join our team!

### Installation

#### Mac OSX: Install [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/):

```
  $ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
  ```

+ Set the [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/) version to 2.5.3. In order to be able to pick the ruby version or to download ruby, we recommend using a ruby version manager. There are 2 ruby version management tools: [rvm](https://rvm.io/) and [rbenv](https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv).

##### **RVM**
    ##### Installing **rvm** from scratch:

+ Install [rvm](https://rvm.io/):
      ```
      $ \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
      ```

+ Install [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/):
      ```
      $ rvm install 2.5.3
      ```

+ Select this version of ruby for use in this project:
      ```
      $ rvm use 2.5.3
      ```

##### Set ruby version if you already have rvm installed:
    + Select this version for use:

```
      $ rvm use 2.5.3
      ```

##### **RBENV**
    ##### Installing **rbenv** from scratch:
    + Install [rbenv](https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv):
      ```
      $ brew install rbenv
      ```

+ Install [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/):
      ```
      $ rbenv install 2.5.3
      ```

+ Check ruby version:
      ```
      $ ruby -v
      ```

You should see ruby version printed as result: `ruby 2.5.3xxx` and xxx represents the revision and the architecture of the installed version.

##### Set ruby version if you already have rbenv installed:
   + Change your ruby version locally inside shescoding-dot-org repository:

```
      $ cd shescoding-dot-org
      $ rbenv local 2.5.3
      ```

+ Install [Postgresql](http://www.postgresql.org/)
  + Mac:

Install:
    ```
    $ brew install postgresql
    ```

Initialize the postgres database:
    ```
    $ initdb /usr/local/var/postgres
    ```

Start the postgres server:
    ```
    $ pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log start
    ```

+ Ubuntu:

See [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostgreSQL]

For simple setup (local use only) follow the "Alternate Server Setup" of the resource provided above.

---
---
  #### Windows 10 Users: Using the Ubuntu: App

Go to [Windows App Store](https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9PJN388HP8C9) and download the most stable version of Ubuntu, then

+ Go to developer settings by searching "Developer"

+ In the results under *Settings*, click  *For developer settings*

+ Select *Developer Mode*

Open the Ubuntu app and complete setup (username, password, etc.), then run:

```
  $ sudo apt-get update
  ```
+ Install Ruby

After update completes, install Ruby, your version manager, and Rails as you would for Ubuntu:

(NOTE: the below command also installs dependencies such as nodejs and yarn)

```
  $ sudo apt-get install git-core curl zlib1g-dev build-essential libssl-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev software-properties-common libffi-dev nodejs yarn
  ```
+ Install RVM or RBENV

#### RVM
  ```
  $ sudo apt-get install libgdbm-dev libncurses5-dev automake libtool bison libffi-dev

$ gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3 7D2BAF1CF37B13E2069D6956105BD0E739499BDB

$ curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
  $ source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

$ rvm install 2.5.3
  $ rvm use 2.5.3 --default
  $ ruby -v
  ```
  #### RBENV

```
  $ git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
  $ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
  $ echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
  $ exec $SHELL

$ git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git  ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
  echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
  exec $SHELL

$ rbenv install 2.5.3
  $ rbenv global 2.5.3
  $ ruby -v
  ```
+ Upload SSH Key to Github

+  Generate an SSH key for your github account

```
      $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "YOUR@EMAIL.com"
      ```
  + Open the file containing the key from your Windows folder below:

```
    C:\Users\YourWindowsUserName\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu16.04onWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\LocalState\rootfs\home\YourUbuntuUserName\.ssh
    ```
   + Open *id_rsa.pub* with either notepad or notepad++.

+ Copy everything in that file and set up your key in your [github page](https://github.com/settings/keys).
---
  + Install [Postgresql](http://www.postgresql.org/)

(NOTE: Google Chrome will block these downloads for security reasons. Please download using Firefox or Edge)

Install postgres from [EnterpriseDB](https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads)

Set up your **username** and **password** defaults. You will not need to set up a specialized name or password when developing in Windows, but you will need to add these to the **database.yml** file later.

Install PGAdmin4 with postgres in the installer, or download manually from [PGAdmin for Windows](https://www.pgadmin.org/download/pgadmin-4-windows/)
---
+ Set up the Database

Run PGAdmin4

+  If PGAdmin4 will not run, try the following:

Clear all Roaming Data:

```
        C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\pgAdmin
        ```
        Download [Oracle](https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html) Java and set up the [evironment variable path](https://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/set-path-environment-variables-in-windows-10/)

```
        C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath
        ```

Once PGAdmin4 is running, click on your servers, right click on *PostreSQL*, hover over *Create*, and then click *Database*

Type *shescoding_development* in the *Database* field and select the owner. I recommend using your general postgres user

+ Set up your local repo

+ Open your Ubuntu for Windows Application

+ Change your directory to your Windows location, such as Desktop

```
    $ cd /mnt/c/users/YourWindowsUserName/desktop
    ```

+ You can see the Ubuntu file directory if you wish, but it is not necessary unless you need to copy your SSH Keys for Github or other repositories

```
    C:\Users\YourWindowsUserName\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu16.04onWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\LocalState\rootfs\home\YourUbuntuUserName
    ```
  + Now clone the repository

```
    $ git clone https://github.com/shescoding/shescoding-dot-org.git
    ```
  + Add the upstream repository:

```
    $ git remote add upstream https://github.com/shescoding/shescoding-dot-org.git
    ```
  + Change the directory to your development environment

```
  $ cd shescoding-dot-org
  ```
  + Open your database.yml file and make the following changes
    + Under **default: &default**

```
    host: localhost
    ```

+ Under **development:**

```
    username: YourPostGresUserName
    password: YourPostGresPassword
    ```
+ **With PGAdmin4 still running**, complete setup by following the steps [below](#mac-ubuntu-and-windows).
---
---

#### Mac, Ubuntu, and Windows

+ Load all the gems:
  ```
  $ bundle install
  ```

+ Run database migrations:
  ```
  $ rake db:migrate
  ```

+ Seed the database:
  ```
  $ rake db:seed
  ```

+ Start the Rails server:
  ```
  $ rails s
  ```

+ Visit the project at [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)

### Pre-commit hook

Please do not commit and push directly to the master branch! The hooks/pre-commit file in this repository contains a pre-commit hook that warns you if you are checking directly into master. In order to enable this hook, from the root of the repo do:
```
$ cp hooks/pre-commit .git/hooks/
$ chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit
```

### Running the tests

In order to run the tests, make sure all the gems are installed and the test environment is set up properly with working database.

+ Set up:

```
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec rake db:create RAILS_ENV=test
$ bundle exec rake db:schema:load RAILS_ENV=test
```

+ Run the tests with [RSpec Rails](https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails):

```
$ bundle exec rspec -fd
```

Notes:
+ ```-fd``` stands for full details. You can also run tests by using commands ```bundle exec rspec``` or ```bundle exec rake``` to get an overview without details of each test.
+ If you are having trouble running bundle install, please make sure Nokogiri gem is installed on your machine. Full instructions can be found [here](http://www.nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html).

### Running the linters

This project uses a tool called JSHint for linting (quality-checking) Javascript code. If you want to see this tool in action, check out the creator's interactive demo.

+ Run the Javascript asset linting with JSHint:
  ```
  $ bundle exec rake jshint
  ```
Note: Any contributor who makes changes to existing Javascript files or adds new ones, needs to run JSHint to make sure erroneous files don't get committed to the codebase.
