🏡 HomeBase

LHL Final Project | June 2021

The home building process can be stressful. It involves a lot of documents, decisions and communications between the home builder and client. It's easy to lose sight of important information if it's not organized well.

HomeBase is a platform where builders and clients can connect, collaborate and track every step of the home building process, from initial planning to possession day.

Target audiences

• Home builders
• Clients / future homeowners

Tech stack

• Front-end: ReactJS v17.0.2
• Back-end: Ruby v2.7.3, Rails v6.0.3.7
• Database: PostgreSQL

Setup

HomeBase uses ruby version 2.7.3, rails version 6.0.3.7, and react version 17.0.2. Please ensure you have a compatible version of ruby before continuing.

1. Run bundle to install necessary rails components
2. Run rails db:setup to create the database
3. Run rails db:seed to seed data into the database
4. CD into 'client' and run npm start to install react and its dependencies.
5. Run the server while in the project root directory using rails s to run the database server (defaults to localhost:3001)
6. In a different terminal tab run npm start to run the web app (defaults to localhost:3000)
