# Structure

### Front end

Social Business Starter is a single page app, and the front end is built with React and Redux.

### Back end

Social Business Starter was built using Ruby on Rails with a postgreSQL database. All database queries are made using AJAX, and all responses are JSON objects constructed with jbuilder.

# Features

* Authentication

  * Custom backend authentication. All queries return data that corresponds to the proper user.

  * User can log in from any page in the app. Clicking a pledge level toggles either editing or creates a contribution depending on if the user signed in is the owner of the project or not.

* Create and edit projects with multiple pledge levels.

* Contribute to one of multiple pledge levels with a confirmation button that is rendered on the same page.

# Technologies Used

* React.js

* Redux

* Ruby on Rails

* jBuilder

* PostgreSQL

* Heroku

* BCrypt for authorization

* Paperclip to store the images users may add to any suggestion, using Amazon Web Services

* Figaro to store AWS keys
