This is a coding challenge for Morning Brew.
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
- Docker + Docker Compose
Provide a Lyra API key in .env using .env.example
docker-compose build
docker-compose run app yarn install --check-files
docker-compose run app rake db:create
docker-compose run app rake db:migrate
docker-compose up
- Started by setting up Docker + Docker Compose
- Set up Postgres and Rails containers
- Created CRUD for stories
- Created CRUD for newsletters
- Tried to make a React component for better story selection
- Used out of box
collection_selectafter running into Webpacker slowness
- Integrated TinyMCE into stories
- Tried again to use Webpacker
- Tried to use
tinymce-rails - Ended up using the
scripttag because of time spent debugging
- Wrote a Lyra API wrapper using
faradayapp/lib/lyra.rb- Tried to generalize between newsletters and stories, supporting all CRUD actions
- Integrated Lyra CRUD into CMS
- Used
roadieto inline styles for transport to Lyra
- Ensure that newsletters in Lyra are made of the same HTML that is in Lyra for all stories
- Better Lyra API wrapper error handling
- Currently expects everything to return 200 :)
- If Lyra acts like I think it does (acts like a central repository?)
- I tightly coupled Lyra to the individual stories
- Would break out Lyra interaction separately from the individual stories
- Especially for deleting -- right now, the Lyra ID is tied directly to the story, so if it is deleted, there is no local reference to the Lyra version
- Allow for writers to fetch from Lyra, then diff the changes
- I tightly coupled Lyra to the individual stories
- Get webpacker to properly pack CSS (couldn't figure it out)
- Better story selection
- Searching for stories based on various metadata
- By tags
- By words body html
- Ordering
- Might do it with React DnD
- Searching for stories based on various metadata
- Generate a teaser from body html to display in the CMS
