Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment!

Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Describe a custom model method you wrote.	two self.all methods to get the list of all the works in the work model and to get the first 10 works as well (although this assumed it was already ordered by total votes...it was an unordered list of works).
Describe how you approached testing that model method. What edge cases did you come up with?	I created most of the testing before writing the models and after creating a simple ERD diagram
What are session and flash? What is the difference between them?	session is similar to flash in that it stores data about the user as they are on the webpage. Session persists until the browser has been closed and flash stores info if you are rendering a new page not if you are redirecting.
Describe a controller filter you wrote.	find_user looked for all the users that had the user_id obtained from params or from session. It was written in the controller parent class and instead of a before called before the user or other class I used a helper method to call the find_user method. This dryed up some of my code.
What was one thing that you gained more clarity on through this assignment?	I really got a better understanding that I need to change how I am studying and completing assignments for Ada. I really struggled with this project, I am hoping to watch the lectures again this weekend and see if I can cover my gaps in understanding.
What is the Heroku URL of your deployed application?	https://media-ranker-c9.herokuapp.com/
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	None at the moment

Overall

Oh nooo! Abinnet, let's chat sometime about what happened with this project!
The major things about this project that were rough was the lack of implementation of the following features:

• logic around votes:
  • ordering works by votes
  • a user voting on a work more than once
  • displaying votes
• Formatting for all messages: error messages, flash messages, a lot of the site content, user pages
• Couldn't make a new work model, I kept getting errors
• Didn't get to styling

Also there were a couple of routes that worked, but I'm unsure if you needed? Such as the show route for the vote.

That being said, I'm happy with what's there, and I'm happy with the tests on the models.

Let me know what's been challenging for you sometime!
