Questions on Week1 HW

1. When trying to simplify our routes, I received an error when creating a new movie. In the controller, we show the "movies/new" template if the movie does not satisfy the requirements (i.e. that there is a title/description). However, when I use render template: "new", I am met with errors when a movie without a title is submitted. If I replace it with render template: "movies/new", or if I say render "new"there is no error. Why is the "movies" not implied in the case where I render a template?

• Answer: render template: requires the full path (i.e. movies/new) whereas render is a shortcut that uses the directory corresponding to the controller

1. We learned to replace anchor links with link_to elements. One of our links is an option to delete the movie, and part of the element is data-method="delete". How do we include that in the syntax for the link_to replacement?

• Answer: <%= link_to "Delete movie", movie_path(@movie), method: :delete %>
