- Use a partial to render your form
- Practice db associations
You have been given a very basic recipe app. Currently, it only allows users to create a recipe with information about the course (main, dessert, breakfast, etc), the cook time, the number of people served and the instructions. For the lab, you will add the ability to specify ingredients.
Phase 1
Add the RESTful routes to be able to create, read, update and delete ingredients. A controller for ingredients has already been created in app/controllers/ingredients_controller.rb. You must create the Ingredient model and use it in the controller. The ingredients table should have the following:
- name
- brand
- image (BONUS)
Also, take a look at the views in app/views/recipes/. Notice how code in the edit page and in the create page is reused. The code takes advantage of a partial. Do the same with your ingredient views.
Phase 2
Add a table and a corresponding migration that associates ingredients with recipes. A recipe has many ingredients through an ingredients_quantity through table. Likewise, an ingredient has many recipes through the same through table. Adding this association also requires adding some attributes to the Recipe model and the Ingredient model.
Phase 3 Add seed data. The seed data should create a recipe and then create ingredients that are associated with that recipe. On the show page of your recipe, display the ingredients associated with the receipt. The ingredients should also list their quantities.
Phase 4 (BONUS): When the user is creating a new receipe, he should be able to specify which ingredients he wants and at what quantity. This is a challenge. You will need to understand building complex forms and nested forms.
