Must See Movies Golden Seven

In this application, users will need to Create, Read, Update, and Delete the following resources:

Director

• name (string)
• bio (text)
• dob (string)
• image_url (string)

Actor

• name (string)
• bio (text)
• dob (string)
• image_url (string)

Movie

• title (string)
• year (integer)
• duration (integer)
• description (text)
• image_url (string)

You will ultimately build something similar to this movie database, but without any styling, and with only three tables.

Use the detailed instructions in the Photogram Golden Seven repository as a guide.

Setup

• First fork, and then clone.

• Create the three models and databases table using rails generate model ... using the Crud with Ruby Cheatsheet. For example,

   rails g model director name:string bio:text dob:string image_url:string
  

• Add a few rows to each table through Rails Console. Or, alternatively, you can run rake db:seed from the command line, which will pre-populate ten rows in each table (I wrote a script to save you some typing). (You need to create all three tables with exactly the column names above in order for this to work.)

READ

• Build a way to see a list of all rows in the table, e.g., by visiting http://localhost:3000/directors
• Build a way to see the details of an individual row, e.g., by visiting http://localhost:3000/directors/4

DELETE

• Build a way to delete an individual row, e.g., by visiting http://localhost:3000/delete_director/4
• Add links to the index page and show pages to make it easier to visit these URLs.

CREATE

• Build a way to see a blank form to add a new row, e.g., by visiting http://localhost:3000/directors/new_form
• Build the complementary action to receive inputs from that form and actually save them into a new row.

UPDATE

• Build a way to see a pre-populated form to edit an existing row, e.g., by visiting http://localhost:3000/directors/4/edit_form
• Build the complementary action to receive inputs from that form and actually update the existing row with them.

Rinse and repeat for the other two tables. Good luck, ask lots of questions!
