The beginning of every coding project is always the file structure and setting up the GitHub repo. As such, my first steps to this project were 1) creating the backend with the $rails new APP NAME –api command 2) creating the front end with $npx create-react-app app-name 3) backing the entire project folder containing the front and back ends up to github.
Javascript is a bit step after so much time in the back end! Learning it involved a lot of stress and practicing deep breathing, but now here we are!
For my Rails Project I built an app, ParkTrack that kept track of 3 object classes: parks, species, and, most importantly, sightings. It was through sightings that new parks or species could be made and that the relationship between parks and species could be tracked. I picked this subject because I have spent a lot of time visiting national parks growing up and they bring back good memories.
