Celebrate America's natural beauty in a Rails app [ruby, rails]

National Parks

Beginning with the first Tree Planting Campaign in 1963, At National Parks Board (NParks) has come a long way in greening up our island city, with 4 nature reserves and more than 300 parks sprawled across Singapore to date and still growing.

Let's create an app to showcase these wonderful parks.

Getting Started

• Fork and clone this repository
• Follow the recommended process for creating your Rails app.

Components

Models

• A Park model that stores the following attributes. Choose the appropriate data types for each (string or text)
• name
• description
• picture (for now, have this store a URL to a picture of a park)

Controllers

• A controller for your home page
• A controller for your Park model

Routes and Views

route	description	controller	action/view
GET /	Your home page	home	index
GET /parks	list all parks	parks	index
GET /parks/new	show add park form	parks	new
POST /parks	create park	parks	create (no view)
GET /parks/1	list park (id=1)	parks	show
GET /parks/2/edit	show edit park form (id=2)	parks	edit
PUT /parks/3	update an existing park (id=3)	parks	update (no view)
DELETE /parks/3	delete an existing park (id=3)	parks	destroy (no view)

Remember: you can list all routes by running rails routes at the command line.

Recommended Process

  • Park.find
• Create functionality
• Add routes to routes.rb. Use resources to create a set of RESTful CRUD routes
• Add controllers, actions, and views where appropriate
