5.5 Homework: Shopping List

This evening, you're going to build out your shopping list application. This is going to require you to build out a full-stack MVC application in Sinatra. You will need models, controllers, and views. You built out the wireframes for this application earlier in the week; now you're going to code it!

You will create a brand new Github repository (if you do not already have one) for your shopping list.

Database Requirements

You must have a database that contains a single table: items. We will also add an accounts table later (do not add this one now). The items table should contain the following columns:

• name as a String
• quantity as an numeric type

Technical Requirements

Your application must have the following parts to it:

• Your migrations.sql and seed.sql should be inside of a db/ folder in your project.
• ApplicationController to get your application started and connected to your database.
• ItemsController to handle all of the routes to your root (/) route and any resources under it. The ItemsController should contain complete CRUD functionality. Users should be able to create, read, update, and destroy items on their shopping list.
• Corresponding views for each CRUD action.
• A basic readme.md in your repository explaining what the application is.

Homework Submission

• Push all of your work online.
• Email your instructors when you have completed the repository. Our email addresses are (for copy-paste): [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
• Provide a link to your repository in the email.
• List any problems you encountered that were brand new to you in this email and how you overcame them.

Important

We're going to use this project tomorrow to teach you how to add user authentication to your application. This way, a user must be logged in to see their shopping list. Only when they are logged in can they access it!
