Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Describe in your own words what the Model is doing in Rails	Model describes the objects that the application is managing and the types of data that are valid for each of the attributes. It also interacts with the database.
Describe in your own words what the Controller is doing in Rails	Controller is central part of the application. It interacts with model, receives requests from the web server, and sends information back to views, which then displays the data. It also contains the logic of the application.
Describe in your own words what the View is doing in Rails	View generates the interface that displays data to the user. Most commonly View is an html file and since we are using Ruby, .erb extension is added as well.
What is the purpose of using strong params? (i.e. the params method in the controller)	We can never pass data into the Model directly, instead we need to specify which keys we allow to be passed form the params hash using strong params. It is a security measure that prevents the injection of harmful data.
How are Rails migrations related to Rails models?	Migrations are changes to the database structure (schema). Using migrations we create, structure and change the Model.
Describe one area of Rails that are still unclear on	I'm still working on orienting myself in the file structure of the entire application and how individual parts of the application interact with each other. I have also discovered that not all migrations can be rolled back, and I am not sure why.

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Baseline
Appropriate Git Usage with no extraneous files checked in	Yes
Answered comprehension questions	Yes
Successfully handles: Index, Show	Yes. Nice job using a custom partial to display the toggle completion button! In the future, you could use the conditional to set a variable and use a single button_to with a variable plugged in rather than duplicating most of the button_to logic.
Successfully handles: New, Create	Yes. Nice job using the partial for the form.
Successfully handles: Edit, Update	Yes. Nice job using the partial.
Successfully handles: Destroy, Task Complete	Yes. I like the way this method toggles the completion.
Routes follow RESTful conventions	Yes
Uses named routes (like _path)	Yes
Overall	Nice job exploring the pieces of the request cycle in this assignment. I like the way you used an additional partial to DRY up your views.
