BecaLParker's Solution to Chitter Challenge:

💬 QUACKIE'S DUCKBOARD 💬

What does this code do?

In honour of Quackie (the Makers' Academy rubberducky debugger), I've made a small Twitter clone that will allow users (Quackers) to post messages (Quacks) to a public stream (the Duckboard).

Here are the Class Responsibility Cards I made to plan this build.

Next steps:
There are some edgecases I still want to solve (eg. throwing friendly errors if user's message is too long).
At present there is a known bug, where quacks won't post it they have apostrophes. I plan to fix that soon.
Currently, users can post quacks as a guest quacker (i.e. entering a display name and message content).
I plan to implement more detailed login/logout functionality (requiring username/password etc.) in a later phase of the build.
Please add other suggested next steps in issues or PR comments.

Credits

I referred to the code review rubric for this challenge during my build.
I discussed Separation of Concerns with a non-Rubyist Dev @allymparker in relation to the user stories.

Technologies used

Integrated database using the PG gem and SQL queries.

How to install and run the tests

Use these commands in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/BecaLParker/chitter-challenge
cd chitter-challenge
bundle

Setup the databases on your local machine:
Connect to psql Create the database using the psql command CREATE DATABASE duckboard;
Connect to the database using the pqsl command \c duckboard;
Run the SQL commands I have saved in the migrations files
exit psql \q

You can now run the feature and unit tests I built: rspec

To interact as a user: rackup, then visit localhost:9292 in your browser and follow any onscreen instructions.

Features

As a Maker, so that I can see what others are saying, I want to see all quacks in reverse chronological order
As a Maker, so that I can post messages on Duckboard as me, I want to submit my display name
As a Maker, so that I can let people know what I am doing, I want to post a quack on Duckboard
As a Maker, so that I can better appreciate the context of a quack, I want to see the time at which it was made	See above	See above
