LAB | Express Cinema
Introduction
The goal of this exercise is to learn how to seed the database on your own and to be able to create a cinema web page, where we will display the list of movies. In addition to that, you will create a detail page, where more details will be shown for each movie individually.
Requirements
- Fork this repo
- Clone this repo
Submission
Upon completion, run the following commands:
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "done"
$ git push origin master
- Create Pull Request so your TAs can check up your work.
Instructions
Iteration 0 | Initialize the project
After forking and cloning the project, you will have install all the dependencies:
$ npm install
Now you are ready to start. 🚀
Iteration 1 | Seed the database
First, we need to seed our database. Below you will find an array of objects with info for 8 movies. You should create two files:
- Create a folder
models
and in it add theMovie.model.js
file for the Movie model; - Create
seeds.js
file inside thebin
folder and write the code necessary to seed the database.
Below find the seeds you should add to the bin/seeds.js
. Based on the objects provided in the seeds, create a Movie
model in the models/Movie.model.js
file.
// To insert in "bin/seeds.js"

// Add here the script that will be run to actually seed the database (feel free to refer to the previous lesson)

Iteration 2 | The Home Page
Now when you have all movies in the database, you shall proceed to getting them and displaying them to the user.
We need our home page. Simple and beautiful, you can use the index.hbs
to create the following home page:
The button
should be a link redirecting to the /movies
route. (You will create this route in the following iteration.)
Iteration 3 | List the Movies
Proceed to creating the /movies
route. We need to list all the movies we have in our database. You should create a movies.hbs
file, and display a list of all the movies.
To summarize, in this iteration your goal is to create /movies
route that will render movies.hbs
view. This view should have all the movie titles and movie images displaying. In addition to this, as displayed on the image below, add the link See more that should point to the each movie details page. (You will be creating this page in the following iteration.)
Iteration 4 | Display Movie Details
Finally, you have to create a view to display the details about each movie. You need a movie/:id
route, where the user can check all the info about each movie, after clicking on the See More
button shown on the /movies
view.
That's it! Happy Coding! ❤️
