What Works Centre for Childrens' Social Care Website

This is the website for the What Works Centre for Childrens' Social Care (as the title suggests). It's (so far) a pretty simple Rails app, the only difference being that instead of a database, it uses Contentful as its backend.

Development

Prerequisites

• PostgreSQL
• Ruby 2.5+

Setup

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/wearefuturegov/whatworks-csc.git

Install dependencies

bundle install

Set up environment variables

Copy the .env.example file and create a .env file, replacing the placeholder values for the variables prefixed with CONTENTFUL_ with actual values from the Contentful admin panel. The PREVIEW_TOKEN can be generated by running:

bundle exec rake secret

Run migrations

If you're setting this up with a brand new Contentful environment, you can create the necessary content types by running the migrations:

bundle exec rake contentful:migrate

Create new migrations by running

bundle exec rake contentful:migrations:generate CamelCasedMigrationNameGoesHere

For more information on Contentful migrations, see the Contentful Model documentation

Run server

bundle exec rails s

The server is now running at http://localhost:3000
