Nice work! Let’s review what we did:
- We added columns to the movies table and actors table
- We used the
t.belongs_tomethods in the parts table to add foreign keys, setting up the many-to-many relationship. - Finally we ran the migrations to update the database, and seeded the database with the data in db/seeds.rb.
Instructions
1.
Now that the models are set up, let’s move on to the rest of the request/response cycle and create the routes, controllers, and views.
Generate a controller named Movies.
2.
In the routes file, create a new route that maps the URL /movies to the Movies controller’s index action.
3.
Then in the Movies controller, add the index action to display a list of all movies. To do this, fetch all movies from the database and store them in variable @movies.
4.
In app/views/movies/index.html.erb inside <div class="main"> iterate through each movie in @movies and display the image, title, and release year.
5.
Run the local server and visit http://localhost:8000/movies in the browser.
