Catarse

The first crowdfunding platform from Brazil

Welcome to Catarse's source code repository. Our goal with opening the source code is to stimulate the creation of a community of developers around a high-quality crowdfunding platform.

You can see the software in action in http://catarse.me. The official repo is https://github.com/catarse/catarse

To run this project you need to have:

• Ruby 2.3.1

• Rails 4.2

• postgREST 0.3

• PostgreSQL 9.4

  • OSX - Postgres.app
  • Linux - $ sudo apt-get install postgresql
  • Windows - PostgreSQL for Windows

  IMPORTANT: Make sure you have postgresql-contrib (Additional Modules) installed on your system.

• Clone the project

    $ git clone https://github.com/catarse/catarse.git
  

• Enter project folder

    $ cd catarse
  

• Create the database.yml

    $ cp config/database.sample.yml config/database.yml
  

  You must do this to configure your local database! Add your database username and password (unless you don't have any).

• Install the gems

    $ bundle install
  

• Install the front-end dependencies

    $ bower install
  

  Requires bower, which requires Node.js and its package manager, npm. Follow the instructions on the bower.io website.

• Create and seed the database

    $ rake db:create db:migrate db:seed
  

• Configure the API server

  We provide authentication through JWT (JSON Web Tokens) and it can be configured by CatarseSettings into rails console.

    $ bundle exec rails console
    > CatarseSettings[:api_host] = "http://localhost:3004" # postgREST server url
    > CatarseSettings[:jwt_secret] = "gZH75aKtMN3Yj0iPS4hcgUuTwjAzZr9C" # this token is just a valid example
  

If everything goes OK, you can now run the project!

• Run API server

  After downloading PostgREST 0.3.x you can unpack and run the executable as below.

    $ ./postgrest postgres://postgrest@localhost/catarse_development -a anonymous --jwt-secret gZH75aKtMN3Yj0iPS4hcgUuTwjAzZr9C -s 1 -p 3004
  

• Run Rails server

$ rails server

Open http://localhost:3000

We hope to support a lot of languages in the future, so we are willing to accept pull requests with translations to other languages.

Thanks a lot to Daniel Walmsley, from http://purpose.com, for starting the internationalization and beginning the English translation.

Currently, we support pagarme through our payment engines. Payment engines are extensions to Catarse that implement a specific payment gateway logic.

If you have created a different payment engine to Catarse, please contact us so we can link your engine here. If you want to create a payment engine, please join our mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/catarse-dev

List of payment enginees that are being developed or need to be developed further

https://github.com/catarse/catarse_pagarme (payment engine used by Catarse.me)
https://github.com/devton/catarse_paypal_express (currently out of date and not maintained)
https://github.com/sushant12/CatarseStripe (just starting to be developed and needs extra hands -- please pitch in...)

Discuss your plans in our mailing list (http://groups.google.com/group/catarse-dev).

After that, just fork the project, change what you want, and send us a pull request.

• Follow this style guide: https://github.com/bbatsov/ruby-style-guide
• Create one acceptance tests for each scenario of the feature you are trying to implement.
• Create model and controller tests to keep 100% of code coverage in the new parts you are writing.
• Feel free to add specs to committed code that lacks coverage ;)
• Let our tests serve as a style guide: we try to use implicit spec subjects and lazy evaluation wherever we can.

Contributors: You know who you are ;) The commit history can help, but the list was getting bigger and pointless to keep in the README.
