Challenge for the Shopify Backend Developer internship. This project is a basic image repository allowing users to publish their own images and include a title and relevant tags. Users can search for images via tags and titles.

Note: dhash-vips was originally used for a reverse image search function but the method was far too finicky to be useful so it was removed.

• ruby 2.6.3 or newer
• node >= 10.17.0
• yarn
• MySQL

After downloading the project to your computer, navigate to the project folder and run the bundler

$ cd imgrepochallenge
$ bundle

Once that is finished, run yarn to install Javascript dependencies

$ yarn install

Next you will need to setup database.yml. You can use config/database.yml.sample as a base. Fill in the password field with your appropriate database credentials.

default: &default
  adapter: mysql2
  encoding: utf8mb4
  pool: <%= ENV.fetch("RAILS_MAX_THREADS") { 5 } %>
  username: root
  password: <insert password here>
  host: localhost

Afterwards, in your terminal, run:

$ rails db:create

and

$ rails db:migrate

Finally start the localhost server with

$ rails s

If you would like to run the test suite, you can run the full test list using:

$ rails test
