The Depot Online Store

This application implements an online store, with a catalog, cart, and orders.

It is divided into three main sections:

  • The buyer’s side of the application manages the catalog, cart, and checkout. It is implemented in StoreController and the associated views.
  • The seller’s side (product maintenance and order fulfillment) is managed by the ProductController.
  • Only administrators can access stuff in the AdminController. This is implemented by the LoginController, and is enforced by the ApplicationController#authorize method.

This code was produced as an example for the book Agile Web Development with Rails. It should not be run as a real online store.
