Albumist

This repo is my graduation project for the "Ruby on Rails Bootcamp" program launched in collaboration with iWallet & Patika.dev

Introduction

Albumist is a simple "User Album Tracker" application. Initially, user, album and album details data are fetched from https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com via http requests from the routes /users, /albums and /photos with the help of a rake task and saved in the database. Albumist basically has 2 pages. (Homepage and Profile) Homepage lists all users. Profile includes detailed information of the users.

  • Then, these data can be updated or new ones created.
  • With search input supported by Stimulus and Turbo, recorded users can be searched by username and results can be dynamically listed on the Homepage.
  • This application styled with Scss has a responsive layout.
  • Flash messages that can be closed 3 seconds after being shown (or immediately if you prefer).
  • Album details are displayed with a pop-up.

Getting Started

https://github.com/sametpolat7/albumist.git

Clone the repo to your local. Make your database settings.

config/database.yml

username: <%= ENV["DATABASE_USERNAME"] %>
password: <%= ENV["DATABASE_PASSWORD"] %>
cd albumist
rails db:create
rails db:migrate

rails s

When you start the server, you should see "User not found." on the Homepage.


Now let's pull the data from the jsonplaceholder API and record it in the database. You need to start the rake task.

rake jsonplaceholder_api:fetch_data

Data fetching will start.

Data fetch and update task completed successfully.

Possible Problems

If you see an SSL error like this:

Failed to fetch data from https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 peeraddr=104.21.59.19:443 state=error: certificate verify failed
(unable to get local issuer certificate)

This error occurs because the SSL certificate used by the server (jsonplaceholder.typicode.com) could not be verified. This can happen if the certificate chain cannot be traced back to a trusted root certificate authority (CA) on your system.


Solution

Step 1: Download the cacert.pem File

  1. Go to https://curl.se/ca/cacert.pem.
  2. Download the cacert.pem file and save it to a known location on your system, for example, C:\Certificates\cacert.pem.

Step 2: Configure Ruby (or your environment) to Use the Certificate

Setting the Environment Variable in Command Prompt

  1. Open the command prompt.
  2. Set the SSL_CERT_FILE environment variable to point to the location where you saved cacert.pem:
set SSL_CERT_FILE=C:\Certificates\cacert.pem

And now you can run the rake task again.
