Who 'Dat?

Who 'Dat? is simple game to help you get to know the people on your team.

It parses the data in a "Who's Who" Trello board which must be constructed as follows:

• A list for each team. The title of the list is the team name
• A card for each person, with their headshot as a cover image. The title of the card should be in the form "Full Name [Role Title]"

Setting up your dev environment

Who 'Dat? is a straightforward Rails app.

Set up the Rails app

Check out the repo then install the required gems:

gem install bundler
bundle install

Next, set up the database:

bundle exec rails db:create
bundle exec rails db:reset

Configure Trello

You need to configure the app with Trello credentials.

First obtain your API keys from your Trello account.

Next, add the keys to your Rails credentials (using bin/rails credentials:edit):

trello:
  api_key: [YOUR API KEY]
  token: [YOUR API TOKEN]

You also need to set the environment variable TRELLO_BOARD_ID (e.g. Yae2dtTq).

Configure Google Sign In

You need to configure the app with Google creds.

Follow the instructions in the Basecamp Ruby gem README to get your app keys, then add them to your Rails credentials:

google_sign_in:
  client_id: [YOUR CLIENT ID]
  client_secret: [YOUR CLIENT SECRET]

Import the data from Trello into the database

You will need to run this regularly to keep the database in sync with Trello.

bundle exec rake trello:load_people

Running the app

To run the app:

bundle exec rails server

You can view the app at http://localhost:3000. You'll need to log in via Google to play.

Deploying to Heroku

If you're deploying to Heroku you'll need to configure Active::Storage to store the attachments in cloud storage. By default this is in DigitalOcean spaces (it's way easier to wrangle than S3).

In storage.yml you can see the Digital Ocean storage options:

digitalocean:
  service: S3
  access_key_id: <%= Rails.application.credentials.dig(:digitalocean, :access_key_id) %>
  secret_access_key: <%= Rails.application.credentials.dig(:digitalocean, :secret_access_key) %>
  bucket: <%= Rails.application.credentials.dig(:digitalocean, :bucket) %>
  region: <%= Rails.application.credentials.dig(:digitalocean, :region) %>
  endpoint: <%= Rails.application.credentials.dig(:digitalocean, :endpoint) %>

This is referenced in production.rb:

config.active_storage.service = :digitalocean

Details of the Digital Ocean Spaces bucket and API keys are defined in your Rails credentials:

digitalocean:
  access_key_id: [YOUR ACCESS KEY]
  secret_access_key: [YOUR SECRET KEY]
  bucket: [YOUR BUCKET NAME]
  region: [YOUR REGION e.g. ams3]
  endpoint: [YOUR ENDPOINT e.g. https://ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com]
