Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Describe in your own words what the Model is doing in Rails	The model is in charge of communicating with the DB - the model can create, update, and destroy instances in the db
Describe in your own words what the Controller is doing in Rails	The controller is in charge of figuring out how to handle a response. The controller will call model methods and ask for views to render HTML as needed.
Describe in your own words what the View is doing in Rails	View is in charge of rendering the HTML and styles
What is the purpose of using strong params? (i.e. the params method in the controller)	You can't trust users and what they will input. Strong params is one part of input validation that makes sure users are provided the wanted parameters - This also helps prevent users from inputing stuff that could destroy/harm the db
How are Rails migrations related to Rails models?	Migrations create the db tables. If you generate a model you have to run rails db:migrate to implement that table related to that model
Describe one area of Rails that are still unclear on	LOTS!! - I am really confused on when to create routes and controller methods that are not part of the restful routes and main controller actions. I couldn't figure out how to do the completed_at function without using it's own route (that was not restful) and implementing its own controller method - I really wanted to use the controller update method but couldn't get it to work
