It was a journey getting through this project. This project was inspired by my sister who is insistent on buying things only from black owned businesses. I was online one day helping her find nail polishes by black own businesses and it took almost an HOUR! We found a website that was supposed to show us all black own businesses, but it’s functionality wasn’t the greatest.
I started this journey with researching what businesses in Atlanta were black owned. I was able to retrieve an excel sheet and saved it as csv file. (Shoutout to this blogpost: Seed your DB in 15 Mins or Less I used this code:
require 'csv'
CSV.foreach('csv_folder/Eateries.csv') do |row|
name = row[1]
owner = row[2]
type_of_food = row[3]
neighborhood = row[4]
address = row[5]
website = row[6]
instagram = row[7]
Eatery.create(name: name, owner: owner, type_of_food: type_of_food, neighborhood: neighborhood, address: address, website: website, instagram: instagram)
end
From there it allowed me to take that information and create a simple experience. Users are able to create a profile.
<h1>User Sign Up</h1>
<br/>
<br/>
<%= @error %>
<form method="POST" action="/user">
<label>First Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="user[first_name]"/><br/>
<label>Last Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="user[last_name]"/><br/>
<label>Email:</label>
<input type="email" name="user[email]"/><br/>
<label>Password:</label>
<input type="password" name="user[password]" >
<br/>
<input type="submit" value="Sign Up"/>
</form>
View Eatery options and Rate them.
<a href="/user/<%= current_user.id %>"><input type="submit" value="Profile"></a><a href="/eatery"> <input type="submit" value="Eateries"></a> <a href="/logout"><input type="submit" value="Logout"/> </a>

This is definitely a project that I intend to build from. I hope that you enjoy the beginning of something big.
