Before You Start...

Hooray, a quiz! https://wdidc6.typeform.com/to/cSxB3l

##WDInstagram

Prompt

Today you're going to make your own version of Instagram (or something very close to it!). Your photo feed app will have full CRUD capability and operate on a single Entry model.

An Entry has the following:

• author
• photo_url
• date_taken

Your app should have the following RESTful actions:

• index (displays all entries)
• show (displays a specific entry)
• new (displays a form to create a new entry)
• create (saves a new entry it to the database)
• edit (displays a form for editing a particular entry)
• update (takes input from the edit form and updates the entry in the db appropriately)
• destroy (deletes a specific entry from the database)

Instructions

1. Write 5 user stories for your app.

• Keep it simple and think about what functionality your MVP needs.

2. Create a database: $ createdb wdinstagram
3. Create an Entry model
4. Create a wdinstagram_schema.sql schema file and generate a table for your Entry model.

• When ready, migrate your schema into PSQL: $ psql -d wdinstagram < db/wdinstagram_schema.sql

5. Create seed data in $ db/seeds.rb

• When ready, run your seeds file: $ ruby db/seeds.rb

6. Create routes for your app, mapping them to the RESTful actions listed above
7. Create the views for your routes

Bonus

1. Add a column for caption to your Entry, which is a text description of the shot. You'll need to generate a database migration for this and then update the rest of your app to be able to display these captions.
2. Add "Like" functionality to your posts.
3. Create a route that shows all the posts by a given author.
4. Add a second "Comments" model to your app so that users may leave comments on each of your Entries.
5. Give your Comments model full CRUD capability.

Bonus²

NOTE: Some of these stretch goals may require research on subjects not yet covered in class.

1. Add client-side validation to your Entry model. name and photo_url need to be present, and the date_taken should be more recent than 10/1/2010.

2. Move your form for new entries to the index (i.e., you won't have a separate page for creating posts).
3. Do the same for comments.
