Media Ranker

Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment!

Comprehension Questions

Question Answer
Describe a custom model method you wrote. I actually wrote custom controller methods. I used the model for validation. In the model, I sorted and ordered sets of works.
Describe how you approached testing that model method. What edge cases did you come up with? I used a controller method. For the model validation for works for example, I made sure to test case sensitivity, duplicates in same category, and duplicates in different categories.
What are session and flash? What is the difference between them? Flash stores an error message, and can be shown for a full or partial request cycle (if flash or flash.now respectively). Session can be used to store a user until a user logs themselves out or clears their cookies or exits the window, it is stored for the whole of a user's session or interaction with the app.
What was one thing that you gained more clarity on through this assignment? I gained more clarity on indirect relationships and on how css can be used through bootstrap. I also gained more clarity on db seeds, how to make them and use them, and yml files for test databases (and how those can be accessed with indirect relationships).
What is the Heroku URL of your deployed application? https://macklo-media-ranker.herokuapp.com/works

Good job! You didn't finish implementing everything but what you did have looked great!

I really liked your different statuses on your flash being success, warning and danger.

Going forward I'd like you to brush up on controller filters and custom model methods. It's a little late in the project but if you can manage to get some work done on them in bEtsy that would be great (either implementation or tests). If not I'd suggest just reading up on them and practicing a little over break week.

Media Ranker

Functional Requirements: Manual Testing

Criteria yes/no
Before logging in --
1. On index page, there are at most 10 pieces of media on three lists, and a Media Spotlight ✔️
2. Can go into a work's show page ✔️
3. Verify unable to vote on a work, and get a flash message ✔️
4. Can edit this work successfully, and get a flash message ✔️
5. Can go to "View all media" page and see three lists of works, sorted by vote ✔️
6. Verify unable to create a new work when the form is empty, and details about the validation errors are visible to the user through a flash message ✔️
7. Can create a new work successfully. Note the URL for this work's show page ✔️
8. Can delete this work successfully ✔️
9. Going back to the URL of this deleted work's show page produces a 404 or some redirect behavior (and does not try to produce a broken view) ✔️
10. Verify that the "View all users" page lists no users Seeded users.
Log in --
11. Logging in with a valid name changes the UI to "Logged in as" and "Logout" buttons ✔️
12. Your username is listed in "View all users" page ✔️
13. Verify that number of votes determines the Media Spotlight ✔️
14. Voting on several different pieces of media affects the "Votes" tables shown in the work's show page and the user's show page ✔️?
15. Voting on the same work twice produces an error and flash message, and there is no extra vote ✔️
Log out --
16. Logging out showed a flash message and changed the UI ✔️
17. Logging in as a new user creates a new user ✔️
18. Logging in as an already existing user has a specific flash message ✔️

Major Learning Goals/Code Review

Criteria yes/no
1. Sees the full development cycle including deployment, and the app is deployed to Heroku ✔️
2. Practices full-stack development and fulfilling story requirements: the styling, look, and feel of the app is similar to the original Media Ranker
3. Practices git with at least 25 small commits and meaningful commit messages ✔️

Previous Rails learning, Building Complex Model Logic, DRYing up Rails Code

Criteria yes/no
4. Routes file uses resources for works ✔️
5. Routes file shows intention in limiting routes for voting, log-in functionality, and users ✔️
6. The homepage view, all media view, and new works view use semantic HTML ✔️
7. The homepage view, all media view, and new works view use partials when appropriate ✔️
8. The model for media (likely named work.rb) has_many votes ✔️
9. The model for media has methods to describe business logic, specifically for top ten and top media, possibly also for getting works by some category No custom model methods.
10. Some controller, likely the ApplicationController, has a controller filter for finding a logged in user No controller filters.
11. Some controller, likely the WorksController, has a controller filter for finding a work No controller filters.
12. The WorksController uses strong params ✔️
13. The WorksController's code style is clean, and focused on working with requests, responses, params, session, flash ✔️

Testing Rails Apps

Criteria yes/no
14. There are valid fixtures files used for users, votes, and works ✔️
15. User model has tests with sections on validations (valid and invalid) and relationships (has votes) ✔️
16. Vote model has tests with sections on validations (valid and invalid) and relationships (belongs to a user, belongs to a vote) ✔️
17. Work model has tests with sections on validations (valid and invalid) and relationships (has votes) ✔️
18. Work model has tests with a section on all business logic methods in the model, including their edge cases No custom model methods.

Overall Feedback
