Materializer

This is a simple API for storing material prospecting data for the Elite Dangerous computer game.

Primarily implemented so that EDDiscovery can have a place to store prospecting materials data.

There are also plans to develop a web frontend.

Setup

1) Install Ruby 2.2.4

2) Install Postgres

3) Create a role for postgres:

createuser -r ed_materializer

4) Run this to setup:

bundle
rake db:create
rake db:migrate

5) Optional, pull down data from the “monster” prospecting spreadsheet:

rake import:spreadsheet

6) Start the rails server on port 3000:

rails s

Documented in the schema wiki

An app can either register commanders through the API (or my frontend app). In special cases I can offer an app level account.

Contributions to the project are welcome, though Issues and Pull Request.
