The IT World

Hello!

It’s been a month since my last post here. I’m more than happy to say that things have been going very, very well for me. Right now I’m testing the software, learning how to look into some products and how to write automated tests. The knowledge, which I’ve gained during the last few months, makes me more comfortable with learning new things. I’ve been learning Ruby till this day but now there’s nothing to show and to be proud of.
I hope I’ll write posts more often. 🙂

Have a great day
Thank you for reading,

Back after holidays.

Hello again!

I’ve been working in the IT industry for almost 2 weeks. And I am very happy to be here, it looks as if I was dreaming. I have a great team and I learn something new every day. I still love ruby language and that’s why I still learn in my free time. I would like to show you what I’ve created so far:

https://github.com/Yankowski/simpleapp

It hasn’t been completed yet but some things have been already done. I am learning how to use bootstrap components. I created this website because I want to revive what I’ve learnt so far as not to forget it. I’ve had some breaks lately because of different reasons but it is good to be back :).

My first React code

Hello again!

I am proud to say, that I have finished my first React application. It is very simple right now. I’ve done it in a very very simple way and stored it on rails app in a public folder. Please forgive me, but I’ve wanted to start with something small, so I have created (with help of the Internet and some Udemy courses) my first calc in React!

My code:

And the result:

Hi! 

 

It has been a while, but I have been learning all that time! To be honest, I had some troubles with the new stuff as I was trying to install node.js; webpack; npm modules on my computer but it is finally working now! In the meantime, I have been preparing some simple React app, which I would like to show you soon.
I want to tell you about my first experience with the conference. Last week, I was at #Grillrb.com conference in Wroclaw, where I met many people, most of whom already work as developers in Ruby/RoR.  

It was a great experience – during the first day we were outside on Ander’s Hill (it was hot, but we had big trees, which gave us some shadow, and we also had cold drinks!) 

We started with watching soccer game: POLAND-SWITZERLAND, and after the great game, the conferences started. 

I found these conferences interesting, they were understandable for a person who is not much experienced in programming. I spent a nice afternoon listening and eating food from barbecue. 

The second day, we spent in an old brewery due to the bad weather, but the interesting topics were continued there. Below you can find some pictures from that event. I will also go there the next year!

The next step

Hi!

Right now I will start to touch a little bit of Front End world. My goal is to learn the following technologies:

-JavaScript
-Ract.js

So it looks like there will be a lot of work for the beginning. I will begin with React By Example book by Arkency. Ihave installed Node.js, Webpack and Babel. Right now I will start to configure my Webpack so I can work with examples from this book.

Hope to provide you more information about my progress in next post!

Shopping cart done!

Hello!

Finally, my code is working!:) I have done a little part of a shop panel – I have created an app, in which you can add some products to the shopping cart, and confirm it to make an order.

My last troubles was:

• to create correct link to CLEAR CART button
• to create an sales report for every product
• to properly put my cart into order

 

I think it is a great exercise for each and every young rails developer. Using a session is very helpful, because you can store some useful data there.

I have also decided to create a direct link in my browser in order to solve my problem with CLEAR CART button I wrote the following piece of code in my routes.rb:

post '/clear_cart' => 'cart#destroy', as: "clear_cart"

And to display the report I created a sum method (but this time with each method)

def sum
result = 0
line_items.each do |line_item|
result += line_item.total_price
end
result
end

Please have a look on my app:

shop panel – cart – part II

Everyone has many duties during the day, so do I, but I am so motivated to learn how to be a rails developer that I find some time for learning. Sorry that I haven’t been writing very often lately – it is caused by a big amount of work which forces me to reduce my time spent on programming. But here I am again, and I want to share what I have learnt recently – each next week with ruby is great, I really like this languages, I feel that I am not fluent when it comes to Model-View-Controller things, but every day I learn more and more.

So, during this week I have had my ‘Add to Cart’ button working.

Right now I have three models:

Cart

Product

Line_Item

Please have a look:

class Cart < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :products, through: :line_items
  has_many :line_items, dependent: :destroy

  def add_product(product_id)
    current_item = line_items.find_by_product_id(product_id)
    if current_item
      current_item.quantity += 1
    else
      current_item = line_items.build(product_id: product_id)
    end
    current_item
  end
end # class Cart

class LineItem < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :product
  belongs_to :cart

  def name
    product.name
  end
end

class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :cart
  has_many :line_items

  before_destroy :ensure_not_referenced_by_any_line_item

  private

  def ensure_not_referenced_by_any_line_item
    if line_items.empty?
      return true
    else
      errors.add(:base, 'Line Items present')
      return false
    end
  end
end # class Product

So, right now my code is working and I can see in my console/site that the products are held in my session.

I have added the following code to my Application Controller:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  # Prevent CSRF attacks by raising an exception.
  # For APIs, you may want to use :null_session instead.
  protect_from_forgery with: :exception

  private

  def current_cart
    Cart.find(session[:cart_id])
  rescue ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound
    cart = Cart.create
    session[:cart_id] = cart.id
    cart
  end
end

My next goal is to create a confirmation for this card so an order may be created.

Here you can see it in Console:

Hope to write to you soon!

My first recruitment task

Hello!

As I had told you before, I had a business trip, which made me unable to code during that time. But at the moment when I came back to my city, I got my first recruitment task to do. I had to write an application, which creates a bill for contract work agreement. I was very pleased that I got my first recruitment task after such a short period of time here! I learnt a lot and although it was not right time for me to start a job at this company, I am very happy for my first try!

I did not finished the whole application due to the lack of knowledge/time, but here you can see what I managed to do:

<%= form_for @agreement do |f| %>
<%= f.label :gross_amount %>
<%= f.text_field :gross_amount %>

<%= f.label :purchaser_id %>
<%= f.select :purchaser_id, User.all.map { |user| [user.name, user.id] } %>

<%= f.label :executor_id %>
<%= f.select :executor_id, User.all.map { |user| [user.name, user.id] } %>

<%= f.label :deductible %>
<%= f.select :deductible, [[‘Low’, 0.2],[‘High’, 0.5]]%>

<%= f.submit ‘Save’ %>
<% end %>

It was one of my first attempts to use the select method. And I even managed to put some calculating methods, which are counting my tax rate:
