B@CKLG

DESCRIPTION

• B@cklg is a video game cataloging application that allows users to create a list of, write reviews for, and rate video games.
• This Ruby on Rails application is our final project for Phase (Mod) 2 of Flatiron School's Software Engineering Bootcamp.
• It calls on and is heavily dependent on the RAWG video game API.
• As a school project, the application is solely meant to demonstrate our RoR skills and is not monetized in anyway.

SET UP

1. run bundle install to install all gems/dependencies
2. request an API key from RAWG (instructions here: https://rawg.io/apidocs)
3. set your key to a variable called rawg_key in application.yml -example: rawg_key: "your_key_here"
4. run the migration files with rails db:migrate
5. run a server (using the terminal command rails s) to demo the app and view via local host in your browser
