grassy: Project 1 @ GA sydney

grassy is a platform for simple, intuitive grassroots competition management. The first proof of concept is for a local soccer association and forms the second project for the Software Engineering Immersive at General Assembly, Sydney.

The primary aim for this project is to produce a Rails-based CRUD for users, matches, clubs, grounds, with the capability for users to keep track of their favourite teams. The project is deployed on Heroku.

Minimum Requirements

  • Rails CRUD
  • Web-app
  • Heroku-hosted

Design objectives

  • Highly functional: least surprise principal
  • Clear navigation between types of data
  • Intuitive and fast methods to find data desired
  • Mobile-friendly

Technologies Utilised

  • Rails
  • Kaminari - pagination of results
  • Google Maps API
  • Bcrypt - form validation
  • Bootstrap

Getting Started

  • Head to Heroku to check it out

Reflections on Development

  • More models & associations = lots more views to create, controllers and routes to configure
  • Question mark on dynamic statistics calculation based on match scores OR storing stats against each team (e.g. MP, GF, GA, PTS etc)
  • Bootstrap makes layouts of tabulated data pretty simple
  • But I don't like how bootstrappy it looks...
  • Lots of data built from from multiple models used on many pages: service objects were really useful for this

Further Development

  • Extrapolation for multiple associations in multiple sports, activity groups
  • Player-based model to enable stats and registrations etc.
  • Charts.js visualisation of stats
  • Teamsheet completion
  • So much more...

Source

  • GA Sydney set the task basis for this project, though the topic and execution was entirely up to the student. It just had to be a Rails-based CRUD web-app.
