Task List

Let's build a Task List in Rails! We will solve the problem of tracking tasks in a web application. This project will enable us to keep track of and persist, add, edit and remove tasks. This is an individual Stage 1 project.

Learning Goals

Practice all aspects of Rails development.

  • Create a new Rails application
  • Explore each aspect of the Rails Request Cycle: Model, View, Controller
  • Implement RESTful routes using Rails standards
  • Complete all CRUD actions in a Rails application

Baseline

In this baseline, you'll create a new Rails application and get started with two of the major components: route, controller and view.

  • Fork and clone this repository to your computer
  • Create a new Rails application using rails new .
    • create a Tasks controller
    • create a route to view the task index page
    • create a controller action for the task index page which contains an array of hard-coded tasks
    • create an ERB view to display the tasks from the controller action

Wave 1

This wave is where we introduce ActiveRecord to create a model. We use the model to persist our data.

  1. create a migration which will create a new Task model
    • create the database schema and tables by running the rails db:migrate command
    • the Task model should include at least a name, a description and a completion date
    • create at least 2 Task model instances using the rails console
  2. update the controller's index action you created to retrieve and show all Task objects from the database
    • you may need to update the view as well to use the model fields rather than the hard-coded data

Wave 2

In this wave, we will expand the actions we support and introduce forms for user interactivity and persistence.

  1. add support to show each task
    • update the task list to link to a show action for each individual task
    • create a route
    • create a controller action
    • create an ERB view
  2. Create a new task:
    • update the task list to have a link to add a new task
      • this will give the user a new page with a form with the appropriate task fields
      • the site should take the user back to the task list after the new task is added

Wave 3

In this wave we will extend the interactivity with users, allowing them to edit existing tasks.

  1. Edit a task
    • update each task's show page to include an edit link
      • this will give the user a new page with a form that is pre-populated with the data about that task
      • the site should take the user back to the task's show page after the task is updated

Wave 4

In this wave, we will add the ability to delete tasks. We will also add the ability for a user to mark a task complete.

  1. Delete a task
    On the task list, add a button or link for each task that will, once clicked:
    1. Ask the user to confirm that they definitely want to delete the task.
    2. Delete the task from the database and redirect the user back to the list of remaining tasks
  2. Mark a task complete
    • Add a button to the list of tasks on the home page that, when clicked, will mark a task complete
    • Update the database with the task's completed date
  3. Optional
  • DRY up your code by reusing the view code from the new functionality
    • Hint: Rendering partials in Rails
