The Seed Procedure

If you want a testable demo with preloaded data, we've created a seedfile with several different test logins. First, open a terminal in your project root directory and type:

npm run seed

Now the database will contain some randomly generated data. If you look on any of the accounts, the random users will have commented at random, responded to random meetings at random, and also have their own set of random meetings.

However, there seed does generate a set of test accounts to login and demo these features. The credentials to those accounts are

Max (master account)

username: mgreen password: Testpass1!

Brendan

username: Brendan123 password: Testpass1!

Alex

username: AlexCheese password: Testpass1!

Praneeth

username: pvanguru password: Testpass1!

Here are some tests you can run to demo features:

View Meeting Statuses

• Log in as Max and navigate to the dashboard
• You'll find cancelled and pending meetings still awaiting booking
• You'll also find on the sidebar past and upcoming booked meetings
• Your timeline will also show upcoming meetings in the next week
• Notice the different actions you have based on meeting status and whether or not you are the meeting owner

Test Double Bookings

• Log in as max and navigate to your dashboard
• Notice the "Book.it Dev Meeting" in your booked meetings, and its booked time and date
• If you navigate to the other booked meeting, "The Great Meetup", you'll notice that you have no option to accept, since it's booked for the same time as your other booking
• Notice you can only RSVP an "accept" to one or the other
• See the "Trivia Club" meeting that max owns. If you try and respond to it, you'll note that dary gray cells block you from saying you're availabile during your the time of your double booking, preventing you from causing another double booking.

Share Meetings With Others

• Log in as one user, and navigate to the create meeting page
• Create a meeting with your dates and information.
• Copy the meeting link on the view meeting page for your meeting (if the other user was another person, you'd email it to them here)
• Log out and log back in as a different user, and then click the meeting link generated by the other user and submit a response. You may submit comments or paste a note (which wont be visible to the other users)
• Log out one more time and log back in as the first user, and you'll see the second users response data. Now you can book the meeting if there are multiple participants
• The second user will get an RSVP invite if you log back in as them
