Task List

Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment!

Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Describe in your own words what the Model is doing in Rails	The model is communicating with the controller and the database and returning information from the database to the controller.
Describe in your own words what the Controller is doing in Rails	The controller is taking directions from the router and getting the information the router asks for from the model or the view.
Describe in your own words what the View is doing in Rails	The view is receiving information from the controller about what to display in the browser.
Describe an edge-case controller test you wrote	I wrote tests to make sure that methods would redirect after they completed. This is an edgecase because the method could work but not redirect to the correct path afterwards.
What is the purpose of using strong params? (i.e. the params method in the controller)	The purpose is that you don't have to type the params hash as much and it makes them private because we don't always want the user going in and changing things.
How are Rails migrations related to Rails models?	When you create a model it creates a pending migration about what the database should look like. Migrations make sure that the code is asking for the correct items from the database and that those items exist in the database.
Describe one area of Rails that are still unclear on	Testing is still a bit fuzzy for me. That was the hardest part for me.
