We are no longer using this version of Wrektranet at WREK. Leaving it up for historical purposes, but any further questions can be directed to [email protected]
Wrektranet3 is the future
This is WREK's long-overdue new intranet. It provides tools that our radio DJs use on-air, for administration, and for other purposes.
It's based on Rails 4, AngularJS, MySQL, and Bootstrap. Feel free to use parts of it or make contributions; other radio stations are welcome!
Check out the wiki to get started.
- Bootstrap on the front-end, if you're looking for classes to use.
- Slim for templating (ERB sucks). It's just HTML shorthand with other niceties.
- SimpleForm for writing forms for its nicer syntax and Bootstrap integration.
- AngularJS for interactive JavaScript pieces since it's more well-structured and powerful. This is totally optional, but if you see
ng-in the HTML, that's what it is.ng-initis used on pageload to include JSON data in the templates instead of making a separate AJAX request when you first visit the page. - jQuery is available if you really want to use it by itself... but try to keep things tidy.
- Devise for user registration and authentication. In production, it hooks into our LDAP server.
- CanCan for roles and permissions. Check the
ability.rbfile to see what our roles look like. If you're using thecreatemethod with strong parameters, please read this to get around any issues. - Whenever for writing cron scripts with Ruby syntax and Rails-specific hooks.
Mostly standard tools hee.
- RSPec for unit tests, or "specs."
- RSpec + Capybara (with a headless WebKit server through
poltergeist) for integration tests. - factory_girl for creating test data in integration tests.
We use GitHub issues for project management. We also have a Slack room and a special email address. Ask about 'em.
