    Action Mailer Lab / Homework
Implement reset password feature in cook book app (or hacker news clone)
Prerequisite:

Welcome email feature works
Action Mailer is configured properly, check config/environments/development.rb

config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :sendmail
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true

Requirements:

On signin view, user should be able to click forgot password link rendering a forgot password view
On forgot password view, user should be able to enter and submit email address to request new password
System sends 'reset password' email containing unique link to reset user's password on the site
On reset password view, user should be able to enter new password and password confirmation
Upon success, user is logged in and shown profile page

Hints:


Use the user's remember_token to generate unique reset password link in reset password email. The link should look something like this: http://localhost:3000/reset/xmbCPqeCfqxossoOcxciSw


You will need at least three new routes backed up by three controller methods (tip: use user_controller)

A route responding to forgot password link, renders forgot password view
A route responding to send reset password email request
A route responding to reset password link contained in reset password email, renders reset password view with password/password confirmation inputs and user name and email pre-filled (inputs should be disabled)


Also: reset password form in reset password view updates the user, i.e. it posts to user_controller update method, if it doesn't exist, create it
