IndieFomo

Indie Fomo is a web aplication inspired by Indiegogo built using Ruby on Rails on the backend, a PostgreSQL database, and React with Redux on the front end.

On the backend, campaigns are stored in a single table with foreign keys connecting each campaign to it's owner and category. Each campaign has many associated rewards which are stored in a separate table. Each respective campaign has two associated views. First of which is the campaign show page that lists campaign funding details, a description, and its associated rewards. The second view is an overview tile that links the user to the campaign show page.

On the backend, rewards are stored in a single table with a foreign key associating each reward to its campaign. Each reward is structured as a nested resource under its campaign so users can add rewards as they create their campaigns. Rewards are rendered twice in a 'preview' mode where users can delete and edit rewards before launching their finished campaigns as well as in a final show view that is rendered on the campaign show page.

On the backend, contributions are stored in a single table with foreign keys connecting them to a user, optional reward, and campaign associated with each contribution. Users can make contributions on the campaign show page by either opting to purchase a reward or by creating a custom amount contribution. This contribution history can then be accessed via the users profile page. Total contributions as well as the contribution count are rendered on the campaign show page. The contributions are represented as a progress bar that expresses the total contributions as a percentage of target campaign amount. The progress bar dynamically updates as users donate to the campaign.

The Users table stores profile and user data including passwords and session tokens. Password authentication achieved with the BCrypt Gem.

Users can explore available campaigns by either looking through the category tiles that link to a category show page that filters campaigns by category, or they can user the search tool to find campaigns by title or tagline. The search function uses the pg_search gem uses search scopes against the Campaign table, lending higher weight to results containing keywords in the title.
