This is the base repo for a project with an existing codebase used at Turing for Backend Mod 3.
Project Spec and Evaluation Rubric: https://github.com/turingschool-examples/watch-and-learn
Students will continue to build on the existing code base using the cards within the following Github Project: https://github.com/turingschool-examples/watch-and-learn/projects/1
Learning Goals and Labels
The cards are labeled in a way that correspond to learning goals or to specific areas you might personally want to focus on.
Cards should be completed from top to bottom in the To Do column. Cards labeled good first issue are good as filler work and will allow you to practice common Rails skills.
This is a Ruby on Rails application used to organize YouTube content used for online learning. Each tutorial is a playlist of video segments. Within the application an admin is able to create tags for each tutorial in the database. A visitor or registered user can then filter tutorials based on these tags.
A visitor is able to see all of the content on the application but in order to bookmark a segment they will need to register. Once registered a user can bookmark any of the segments in a tutorial page.

This project makes use of the Youtube API.
First, obtain an API key by following steps 1 - 3 in this guide for the "Before you Start" section. When creating new credentials, make sure you choose the "API Key" option. Make sure that you follow the step to enable the Youtube Data API. Your API key will not work without that step. Note: The API requests will come from a web server & will need access to Public Data
Once you have obtained an API key and enabled the API:
- Run
bundle exec figaro install - This will create the file
config/application.yml. Open that file. - Append the following to that file:
YOUTUBE_API_KEY: <your api key>,replacing <your api key>with the api key you just obtained.
You can run the test suite with:
$ bundle exec rspecIf set up correctly, and assuming you have internet access and the Youtube API is functioning correctly, you should have all passing tests.
