[WatchTube.stream][heroku] [heroku]: watchtube.herokuapp.com
WatchTube is a full-stack web application inspired by YouTube. It utilizes Ruby on Rails and a PostgreSQL database for the backend, and React/Redux framework for the frontend.
Users must create an account in order to view features on the site. A demo account is also provided in order for people to test the website before creating an account. Upon login the current user will be held in a store until the session is destroyed(logout).
Users will be stored in a table containing their id, username, email, password_digest, session_token, and avatar.
Users will be able to upload videos onto the site. References to videos will be stored in a table in the PostgreSQL database containing the video id, title, description, video_url, thumbnail, views, and user_id.
Videos will be displayed as either a VideoItem or Video. As a VideoItem, the thumbnail, views, and username for that video will be displayed. As a Video, the full description will be displayed. This includes comments and likes.
Users will be able to add comments to videos. Users will only be allowed to comment if they are logged in. After the addition of a comment, users will only be allowed to edit/delete comments that belong to them.
Comments will be stored in a table containing the comment id, body, video_id, and user_id.
Videos and comments have the ability to be 'liked' or 'disliked'. Users will only allowed to like/dislike if they are logged in.
Likes will be stored in one table through polymorphic association with the like id, like_value, user_id, video_id, and comment_id.
