In this homework you will add a feature to an existing simple Rails app and deploy the result publicly on the Heroku cloud hosting service.
General advice: This homework involves modifying RottenPotatoes in various ways. Git is your friend: commit frequently in case you inadvertently break something that was working before! That way you can always back up to an earlier revision, or just visually compare what changed in each file since your last “good” commit.
Remember, commit early and often!
- Part 0 (A): Preparation: get RottenPotatoes running locally
- Part 0 (B): Preparation: deploy to Heroku
- Part 1: Sort the list of movies (15 points)
- Part 2: Filter the list of movies by rating (15 points)
- Part 3: Remember the sorting and filtering settings (70 points)
Deploying your finished app to Heroku by the homework deadline is part of the grading process. Even if you have code checked in that works properly, you still need to also deploy it to Heroku to get full credit.
For CSCI 420/602 fall 2019, create a submission document in DOCX or PDF format. In this document,
list your name and your partner's name, and the heroku link with your final, working code, all on
the first page. On the subsequent pages, paste in your code for movies_controller.rb, movie.rb,
and index.html.haml. Format in Consolas 10pt and start each new file on a new page.
Each student should upload a copy of the document to CitLearn by the deadline.
