Restaurant-Rater

An application to duplicate the core functionality of Yelp, using Rails' MVC architectural pattern to divide concerns and Minitest for full model, controller and integration tests to experience a new testing framework. I have also decided to build out full user signup, login and authorisation from scratch without the use of a gem to gain a deeper understanding of the system to make customisation of any gems easier in future. I have configured the production application to use SSL & Puma and deployed to Heroku.

Specifications

Logged in users can create new restaurants - specifying the name, city, county and cuisine type as minimum requirements
Logged in users can leave reviews for restaurants - they must provide a numerical score (1-5) and a comment (maximum 1000 characters) about their experience
Logged in users can change their profile information
Any user can visit the profile pages of other users to see a history of their reviews in reverse chronological order
Any user can search for restaurants based on their required criteria (by name/ location /cuisine type)
The search returns a list of restaurants matching the search criteria. Selecting a restaurant forwards the user to the restaurant's profile page.
The restaurant's profile page displays the information provided on creation, all reviews in reverse chronological order, and its average rating
Ratings and average ratings are displayed as stars rather than numbers
Pagination for restaurant lists and reviews, displaying a maximum of 30 per page
Use of Bootstrap & SCSS to enhance the overall design of the site
Use of partials to refactor more complex views and render collections
Use of helper methods
Friendly forwarding by redirecting the user to the protected page they were trying to access before being prompted to login
Admin status required to edit/delete restaurants and delete users.
