# InfoGather

This is a project built with Elixir that uses Dynamo to serve web requests and Ecto 

to interface with Postgres.

To setup:

* `mix deps.get`

* `mix db.create`

* `mix db.seed`

* `mix server` to start the webserver

## Postgres Setup

This application assumes Postgres is configured properly. 

You must have either `DATABASE_URL` (Heroku style) defined to reference the database to

use or have a local postgres install with the current user having privleges on the database `infogather`.

``` sql

 CREATE DATABASE infogather;

```

To connect to a Heroku database of a deployed application, use `heroku pg:psql --app `

There is a mix helper defined to create the required tables. Run `mix db.create`.

## Postgres Commands

Some postgres commands that are useful

  * `psql ` to connect to the database

  * `\dt` list tables

  * `\q` to close the connection

Useful sql

```

  SELECT * FROM BUS;

  INSERT INTO bus (name) VALUES ('A New bus');

  INSERT INTO classroom (grade_level, name) VALUES (1, 'First Grade, Teacher C');

  UPDATE bus SET name = '--None--' WHERE id = 1;

  DELETE FROM data; -- deletes all rows from table

  DELETE FROM bus WHERE id = 22; -- delete an individual row

  DROP TABLE bus; -- delete the table

 ```

## Environment Variables

Define the following environment variables to enable certain features

  * `SENDGRID_USERNAME` and `SENDGRID_PASSWORD`: to send email using the Heroku SendGrid Addon

  * `NOTIFY_EMAIL_TO` and `NOTIFY_EMAIL_FROM`: also need to be defined to use the SendGrid Addon

  * `SUPPORT_EMAIL`: if defined, adds a line of help text with a `mailto` link in to the top of the page
