In this project, we'll practice how to build relationships between models.

Setup

1. Clone

2. Include the starter_generators gem in the project's Gemfile

   gem 'starter_generators', :git => 'https://github.com/rbetina/starter_generators', :branch => 'panels'
   

3. bundle install

4. Generate four CRUD web resources. For example,

   rails g starter:resource actor dob name bio:text image_url
   

   string is the default datatype if you don't say anything. Here are the resources to generate:

   Actor:
     dob: string
     name: string
     bio: text
     image_url: string
   
   Director:
     dob: string
     name: string
     bio: text
     image_url: string
   
   Movie:
     title: string
     year: string
     duration: integer
     description: text
     image_url: string
     director_id: integer
   
   Role:
     character_name: string
     movie_id: integer
     actor_id: integer
   

5. Add validations to your models:

   Actor: presence of name, uniqueness of name
   Director: presence of name, uniqueness of name
   Movie: presence of title, presence of director_id
   Role: presence of movie_id, presence of actor_id
   

6. Start your rails server. Navigate to http://localhost:3000/movies, http://localhost:3000/directors, etc. Make sure the resources look right.

7. Generate an application layout that includes Bootstrap and a navbar:

   rails g starter:style default
   

8. Seed the database with some dummy data so that we can get down to work:

   rake db:seed
   

Likes

Let's complete our Movies app by adding the following features:

• Using Devise, add User accounts to the app. Don't use scaffold or starter:resource generators.

• For now, we can just go with Devise's default columns for the User table.

• Add the ability for users to "like" and "unlike" movies.

• Ensure that a user is signed in before allowing them to add or modify likes.

• Display the number of likes for each movie on Movies#index and Movies#show.

• Users should see a list of movies they have liked at the URL "/my_favorites".

• Users should only be able to like a single movie once.

• Once you are finished, remove or secure extra scaffolding that you don't want users to be able to access.
