How to create a daily 'check-in' on a Rails app?

Question

I'm a newcomer to Ruby, and I'm trying to make a Rails app for class. Trouble is, being new to this all, I've hit an impasse and I don't know the best way to achieve my goals.

My app is this:

• A habit-building app where you set a daily goal, and set a bet with a friend that you will achieve this goal each day for 30days.
• Then you 'check-in' each day to confirm that you've practiced that habit in that calendar day.
• If you don't check-in, you fail the challenge and your friend wins the bet.

Thus far I've set up my models and have authentication with Devise.

How best would you recommend I go about setting up the 'check-in'?

Any and all suggestions and help much appreciated, thanks!

Answer 1

You can use devise Trackable module for satisfied your needs.

It will track with below column

sign_in_count - Increased every time a sign in is made (by form, openid, oauth)

current_sign_in_at - A timestamp updated when the user signs in

last_sign_in_at - Holds the timestamp of the previous sign in

current_sign_in_ip - The remote ip updated when the user sign in

last_sign_in_ip - Holds the remote ip of the previous sign in

You can make your logic depends on this fields.
