RavenReservations

This project is an exercise in building advanced forms completed as part of The Odin Project. It is a flight-booker app in which hypothetical passengers can search for one way flights to or from airports selected from a dropdown. The database is seeded with random flight data. Flights and passengers are connected through the Bookings table. After viewing available flights, they can then select a flight to book and enter their information. This is done via nested forms, which requires whitelisting the nested attributes.

Upon booking a flight, users are presented with a confirmation number. On the bookings tab, I implemented a search feature. Users can look up their booking either by confirmation number or email assosciated with the booking.

   • Clone this repo.
   • cd into cloned directory cd odin-flight-booker

   • rails db:migrate
   • rails db:seed

3. Start a Rails Server.

   • rails server
   • Navigate to localhost:3000 in your browser.

Running the Tests

To run all the tests

• rspec spec/ from the odin-flight-booker directory.

To run specific spec categories

• rspec spec/system
• rspec spec/models

Active Record Associations

• many to many relationships
• has_many, through: relationships
• generate db migrations with proper foreign keys
• utilize accepts_nested_attributes_for

Active Record Queries

• connect dropdown select params to queries
• use includes method to eager load records where appropriate
• use joins to join two tables together when necessary
• implement a search feature to search for Bookings by confirmation number or email

Testing

• RSpec and Capybara
• Model and System specs
• use FactoryBot for fixtures
