Ruby on Rails - Ruby & Ruby on Rails Basics - Introduction to Ruby on Rails - Project

Step One - Generate Rails App

  1. Create a new rails app using the rails app generator
  2. Scaffold the resources shown below using rails generators

Note: Don't forget to initialize and setup the database as part of your scaffolding process.

User

attribute type
id integer
email string
active boolean
created_at datetime
updated_at datetime

Task

attribute type
id integer
name string
priority integer
completed_at datetime
created_at datetime
updated_at datetime

Step Two - Explain Rails MVC

Write all of your answers to the questions below in a separate readme named SOLUTIONS.md.

Rails MVC

First, start the rails server. Then, make a request to /tasks/new, fill out the form and submit it in order to create a new task.

  1. What controller and action handles the data from the form submission?
  2. What controller and action would be used if you did a GET request on the /users route?
  3. Write out the step-by-step process that your rails application will take to render the tasks/new route.
  4. What file is responsible for managing the mapping between your application and the tasks database table?

Rails RESTful Actions

  1. Explain all 7 of the RESTful actions in Rails

    • List each action by its name
    • Explain which HTTP verbs pair with each action
    • Write a short sentence for each action that summarizes what it does

Step Three - Modify Routes

Our application has all 7 actions available for both Users and Tasks. We don't want that--we want to set limits on these resources.

  • Limit users resource to only allow index and show
  • Limit tasks resource to allow everything except destroy
  • remove the corresponding controller actions that are no longer routable

Step Four - Use Rails Console to Create a User

We removed the routes to create a User because we only want developers to be able to do that. The way our developers will create new users for this app is to use the rails console. Use the rails console to create 2 users. Paste the commands you used into the SOLUTIONS.md file.
