Gossip_MVC

Week 4 Day 5 - "The Gossip Project" using Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture (Model = Gossip) A little app that allows the user to save a gossip in a CSV file, view the list of existing gossips and delete a gossip.

Main program

Launch the main program "app.rb" to start the Router, which calls the Controller, which then calls the View and Gossip classes.

1) Router

In this class, we create the controller instance, and store the choice menu. Each choice made by the user allows to start the desired controller method.

2) Controller

In here we create the View instance, and define various methods :

• create_gossip => creates the Gossip instance
• index_gossip (to control the display) => calls the View/Gossip methods
• destroy_gossip => calls the View/Gossip methods

3) Model : Gossip

This program allows communication with the "gossip.csv" file:

• save a new gossip in the CSV file
• fetch all gossips from the CSV file
• find a gossip and delete it from the CSV file

4) View

In this class we generate our outputs (print, puts, gets.chomp) for the 3 methods :

• ask the user to create new gossips (name and content)
• display the list of existing gossips
• choose a gossip to delete
