## Dependencies
Pre-requisites:
- Ruby 3.1
- Rails 7
- Postgres 13
- Node 16
### Quick start
# **Developing locally on host machine**
The most common way to run a development version of the application is run with local dependencies.
Dependencies:
- Ruby
- Rails
- PostgreSQL
- NodeJS
- Gecko driver (https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases) [for running Selenium tests]
We recommend using RBenv to manage Ruby versions.
1. Install PostgreSQL
Mac OS:
```bash
brew install postgresql
brew services start postgresql
```
Linux (Debian):
```bash
sudo apt install -y postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev
sudo systemctl start postgresql
```
2. Create a Postgres user
```bash
sudo su - postgres -c "createuser <username> -P"
```
3. Install RBenv & Ruby-build
Mac OS:
```bash
brew install rbenv
rbenv init
mkdir -p ~/.rbenv/plugins
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
```
Linux (Debian):
```bash
sudo apt install -y rbenv
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/rbenv/bin:\$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
rbenv init
echo "# Load RBenv" >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
mkdir -p ~/.rbenv/plugins
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
```
4. Install Ruby & Bundler
```bash
rbenv install 3.1.2
rbenv global 3.1.2
gem install bundler
```
5. Install Javascript depenencies
Mac OS:
```bash
brew install node
brew install yarn
```
Linux (Debian):
```bash
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | bash -
sudo apt -y install nodejs
mkdir "~/.npm-packages"
npm config set prefix "~/.npm-packages"
echo 'NPM_PACKAGES="~/.npm-packages"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$NPM_PACKAGES/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc
npm install --global yarn
```
6. Clone the repo
```bash
git clone git@github.com:communitiesuk/submit-social-housing-lettings-and-sales-data.git
```
## App setup (OS agnostic)
1. Copy the `.env.example` to `.env` and replace the database credentials with your local postgres user credentials.
2. Install the dependencies:\
`bundle install`
3. Create the database:\
`rake db:create`
`bundle install && yarn install`
4. Run the database migrations:\
`rake db:migrate`
3. Create the database & run migrations:\
`rake db:create db:migrate`
5. Seed the database if required:\
`rake db:seed`
4. Seed the database if required:\
`rake db:seed`
6. Seed the database with rent ranges if required (~7000 rows per year):\
`rake "data_import:rent_ranges[<start_year>,<rent_ranges_path>]"`
5. Start the dev servers
For 2021-2022 ranges run:\
`rake "data_import:rent_ranges[2021,config/rent_range_data/2021.csv]"`
7. Install the frontend depenencies:\
`yarn install`
8. Start the dev servers using foreman:\
a. Using foreman:\
`./bin/dev`
Or start them individually:\
b. Individually:\
a. Rails:\
i. Rails:\
`bundle exec rails s`
b. JS (for hot reloading):\
ii. JS (for hot reloading):\
`yarn build --mode=development --watch`

If you're not modifying front end assets you can bundle them as a one off task:\

Development mode will target the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari for transpilation while production mode will target older browsers.
