Ruby on Rails Tutorial with API: sample application

This repo is deprecated and not actively maintained. A new Rails tutorial has been released based on Rails 5. The equivelant EmberJS app can be found here.

This is the sample application for the Ruby on Rails Tutorial: Learn Web Development with Rails by Michael Hartl but with an API for the Ember version.

It's deployed here. Ember version is deployed here and there is a blog post about it

You can use this reference implementation to help track down errors if you end up having trouble with code in the tutorial. In particular, as a first debugging check I suggest getting the test suite to pass on your local machine:

$ cd /tmp
$ git clone https://github.com/mhartl/sample_app_3rd_edition.git
$ cd sample_app_3rd_edition
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec rake db:migrate
$ bundle exec rake test

The repository also has chapter-specific branches with the state of the code at the end of each chapter. You can view them as follows:

$ git branch --all
  .
  .
  .
  remotes/origin/account-activation-password-reset
  remotes/origin/filling-in-layout
  remotes/origin/following-users
  remotes/origin/log-in-log-out
  remotes/origin/master
  remotes/origin/modeling-users
  remotes/origin/sign-up
  remotes/origin/static-pages
  remotes/origin/updating-users
  remotes/origin/user-microposts

To check out one of these chapter-specific branches, just use git checkout followed by the name without remotes/origin:

$ git checkout log-in-log-out

This should help you track down any discrepancies between your code and the code in the tutorial.
