GuysFitnessApp

Welcome to your new gem! In this directory, you'll find the files you need to be able to package up your Ruby library into a gem. Put your Ruby code in the file lib/GuysFitnessApp. To experiment with that code, run bin/console for an interactive prompt.

GuysFitnessApp is a terminal app that allows multiple people to store and view their workout data. The data that is viewed is competely unique to the user and won't affect anyone else. The app also allows for you to set a default user by using a command line flag, see usage below. This is for users who are on their personal computer so they don't have to worry about other people using their login and do not want to spend the time to log in every time.

When a user makes an account they are given a unique login id which is made from running their username and password concatenated together and ran through a hashing function. This loginid is used to store the users data uniquely. The way users are stored is in a csv file titled users that holds usernames and login ids, this allows the program to check a certain username against a certain login id when a password is provided.

Once logged in the user needs some data, all data in this program is stored as a csv and every csv that holds data is unique to each user, this is done by making a new csv on account creation that is automatically given a header that is used in the program. Once the user has data, viewing, adding, and removing data is simple.

GuysFitnessApp solves the problem of having to manually track your own workouts and spares you from using another app where most of the features are locked behind a paywall, or the design itself is just confusing. GuysFitnessApp is a simple approach to storing your workout data and allows for ease of access.

It will also solve another problem that people who are interested in working out face, and that is that it's quite hard to see progress when you just work out and don't pay attention to what it is you're doing in the gym. This terminal app allows for you to keep track of where you're at so you know exactly how to always push yourself. And it'll allow you to see your progress and smash goals that you set for yourself.

The target audience of GuysFitnessApp is anyone who is interested in tracking their progressing in the gym. There is no specific age group or gender targetted by the app and instead has a very wide and diverse group of potential users.

The target audience, being people who want to track their workouts, will use this app after a workout, simply run the program, type in the exercises they performed and then they can run "view exercises" to see their progression and mark their progress against goals they have set for themselves. Having access to your workout data is great motivation, sometimes it's hard to see progress when you don't look at the big picture.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'GuysFitnessApp'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install GuysFitnessApp

Once you run the app you're met with a login screen, if you don't have a login already simply just select sign up and you will be prompted to type in your desired username and password.

Now that you're signed in you can begin to use the program. If you select "view exercises" you are given a list of options to choose from, these are the names of exercises that you have already recorded, you will access the data about a certain exercise by typing in the name of it. Obviously if you have just made an account you won't have any data associated with your login id.

You're other options are to add and remove data. Removal is done by selecting an exercise from the optins that you are given and then selecting the date that the specific exercise you wanna delete occurs. Adding on the other hand you simply fill out all the info when prompted, date, exercise name, working weight and sets.

The program also has some command line features built in:

"set-default" - prompts the user to login or signup after which if its successful that user is then set to the default user

"remove-default" - removes the current user as the default user, meaning that that account can no longer be accessed without the use of a password

"default" - if available, logs in as whoever is currently set to the default user

When you want to exit the program just select exit program in the main menu and the program will give you a farewell and then exit.

Login system: Has a login system with unique usernames. The users password are not saved in plain text and so it has some security to it. Instead the username and password combinations are checked by creating a loginid that is simply the combination of username and password ran through a hash function.

Cool looking menus: All menus in GuysFitnessApp are made usuing tty-prompt, this achieves two things, it helps to control user input as well as improving the presentation of the program. The main menu also runs in a while loop so the program will run until the user decides to select the exit option (or ctrl+c).

Command line arguments: GuysFitnessApp can take an argument off the command line in order to skip the login process and in a way stay logged in as a specified user. This improves user experience.

Unique users: GuysFitnessApp allows for many users to use a single system and all store their data indpendently of one another, that way one person is not able to alter the recorded data of another person. It also improves reading and writing time when a lot of users is involved.

Persistent data: All workout data saved within GuysFitnessApp is persistent so users inputting their exercises don't have to worry about closing the program and will be able to access their data just the same as they input it next time they run the application and log in with the same credentials.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
