In this DQ you'll practice drawing your ERD diagram to plan out your models and methods. If you are thorough in drawing this out, writing a lot of your code will be very straightforward, so try to be detailed through each piece of this DQ.
Think of this a little like a scavenger hunt. You'll start here, in the README.md. After you finish each set of "clues", they'll direct you to a different file where you can check your work before moving on to the next set.
You will have three classes: Animal, Plant and AnimalToxin. AnimalToxin belongs to Animal and to Plant. Plant has many AnimalToxin. Animal has many AnimalToxin.
Animals will have a species (string), domesticated (boolean) and diet (string). All attributes will be readable. Only domesticated and diet can be changed.
Plant will have a common_name (string), a scientific_name (string), and a color (string). All attributes will be readable. Only common_name and color can be changed.
AnimalToxin will have a plant (Plant instance), animal (Animal instance) and a severity (integer). All attribute will be readable and can be changed.
Draw the ERD Diagram... try to be as thorough as possible. You can use https://awwapp.com/, Google Drawing, or any other tool you can screenshare with your group.
Make sure that you include...
- Arrows for associations between models
- Instance and class variables denoted correctly
- What arguments should be included in the initialize method?
- What readers and writers should there be?
- What object association methods would you need to write? Do not write them yet; just write down which you'll need.
Now to DiagramPlan.md. In this file you'll see one way you could have drawn this out. Check against what your group drew; where there elements in the solution you didnt cover? Anything that is unclear?
