grassy is a platform for simple, intuitive grassroots competition management. The first proof of concept is for a local soccer association and forms the second project for the Software Engineering Immersive at General Assembly, Sydney.

The primary aim for this project is to produce a Rails-based CRUD for users, matches, clubs, grounds, with the capability for users to keep track of their favourite teams. The project is deployed on Heroku.

• Rails CRUD
• Web-app
• Heroku-hosted

• Highly functional: least surprise principal
• Clear navigation between types of data
• Intuitive and fast methods to find data desired
• Mobile-friendly

• Rails
• Kaminari - pagination of results
• Google Maps API
• Bcrypt - form validation
• Bootstrap

• Head to Heroku to check it out

• More models & associations = lots more views to create, controllers and routes to configure
• Question mark on dynamic statistics calculation based on match scores OR storing stats against each team (e.g. MP, GF, GA, PTS etc)
• Bootstrap makes layouts of tabulated data pretty simple
• But I don't like how bootstrappy it looks...
• Lots of data built from from multiple models used on many pages: service objects were really useful for this

• Extrapolation for multiple associations in multiple sports, activity groups
• Player-based model to enable stats and registrations etc.
• Charts.js visualisation of stats
• Teamsheet completion
• So much more...

• GA Sydney set the task basis for this project, though the topic and execution was entirely up to the student. It just had to be a Rails-based CRUD web-app.
