App Highlights:
MVC is a concept which stands for Models, Views, Controllers using the analogy of a restaurant Chef, waiter & costumer to best describe it relationship. MVC also represents a concept we know as separation of concerns.
Model = Chef=> {“Brains Behind”} View = Customer => {“Visuals what you see”} Controller = Waiter=> {“Middle man”} our project required creation of two models:
User Medicine with a relationship of:
:has_many && :belongs_to where Medicine :belongs_to User && User :has_many medicines right?
RakeDB:
we create tables for our models via SQLite3 and migrate & manage them via Rake gem. Models are created with their respective corresponding attributes. Our database or Model class and our controller all communicate with one another flowing information back and for creating a robust responsive web application.
Class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration def change create_table :users do |t| t.string :name t.string :password t.string :password_digest
t.timestamps null: false
end
Class User < ActiveRecord::Base end CRUD = ["CREATE", "READ", "UPDATE", "DELETE"] CRUD represents our four basic functions of a model . Create. Read. Update. Delete. CRUD represents our four basic functions of a model. In our App a user can create a medicine, see their medicine, update & delete.
Controllers < Sinatra::Base for MedLy we split our controller into 3. By convention we use a main controller to inherit from Sinatra::Base and the other controllers inherit from the main controller. Note only one controller can be ran at once in our config.ru so others must be set to use.
applications_controller <users_controller this is where our post & gets requests for user account created.
applications_controller < medicines_controller this controller is where our create, read, update blocks are created.
applications_controller < sessions_controller here is where we create user login & log out controls.
VALIDATION: has_secure_password validates :password, presence: true in our model class we inherit macros from brypt for security and validation. In our app we used the secure password and unique username as a way to control bad data coming into our base.
“The application sends users a reminder text message when Time.now <= last_time_reminded_at`
At at point user can delete their medication or edit name, condition they’re taking medication for and the interval.”
