The Depot Online Store¶ ↑

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

It is divided into two main sections:

• The buyer's side of the application manages the catalog, cart, and checkout. It is implementation spans in four models and associated controllers and views: Cart, LineItem, Order, and Product. Additionally, there is a StoreController for the store front itself, and a SessionsController to manage sessions.

• Only administrators can access stuff in the seller's side (product maintenance and order fulfillment). This is implemented by the SessionsController, is enforced by the ApplicationController#authorize method, and assisted by the Users and Carts resources.

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.
