Anthology

An easier way to keep track of the books on your office bookshelf.

• Uses GitHub authentication for your organisation
• Keeps track of multiple copies of each book
• Looks up book details from Google Books and Openlibrary based on the ISBN

Getting started

bundle install
bundle exec unicorn -p 5000

If you're in the development or test environments, OmniAuth's developer strategy is available, and selected by default. This allows you to authenticate without using GitHub by providing details for a stub user. If configuration for GitHub is present, Anthology will default to using authentication with GitHub instead.

Configuration

The app is configured with a collection of environment variables:

• LIBRARY_TITLE - name of the library, displayed throughout the app
• GITHUB_CLIENT_ID
• GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET
• GITHUB_ORG - organisation username to restrict access
• REQUEST_IP - IP address to provide as the requester in calls to the Google Books API (required for Heroku)
• RAILS_SECRET_TOKEN

If you're using Airbrake or Errbit, you can set the following environment variables:

• AIRBRAKE_API_KEY
• AIRBRAKE_HOST

Licence

Anthology is released under the MIT Licence.
