Module 1 Week 1 Diagnostic

This exercise is intended to help you assess your progress with the concepts and techniques we've covered during the week.

For these questions, write a short snippet of code that meets the requirement. Fill in your answers on a second sheet of paper or in your notebook. In cases where the question mentions a "given" data value, use the variable given to refer to it (instead of re-writing the information).

Fork this gist. Answer the questions to your best ability and with limited research. No need to post your gist in the comments.

1. What is the purpose of the router in a Rails project?

   It is like a doorman of the application that knows where to go and what action to take once HTTP request has been received.

2. What routes would be provided to you with the line resources :items?

   :items routes, I assume, which is probably some controller class

Because I couldn't find these with a quick Google search on 28 April 2015:

Usage:
  rails new APP_PATH [options]

Options:
  -r, [--ruby=PATH]                                      # Path to the Ruby binary of your choice
                                                         # Default: /home/brian/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.0/bin/ruby
  -m, [--template=TEMPLATE]                              # Path to some application template (can be a filesystem path or URL)
      [--skip-gemfile], [--no-skip-gemfile]              # Don't create a Gemfile

To use Bcrypt: 
  uncomment "gem 'bcrypt', '~> 3.1.7'" in Gemfile
  User model should have password_digest attribute
  add "has_secure_password" to User 
  add "validates_confirmation_of :password" to User (if you have password confirmation which you should!)
  
To display flash messages: 
  add the following to views/layouts/application.html.erb right before yield line: 
        <% flash.each do |key, value| %>
          <div class="alert -<%= key %>">

Rails comes equipped with three environments: test, development, and production. The default environment for the Rails console is development:

  $ rails console
  Loading development environment
  >> Rails.env
  => "development"
  >> Rails.env.development?
  => true
  >> Rails.env.test?
  => false

AltFuelFinder

Alisher Sadikov

Pitch
People would use alternative fuel consuming vehicles more it was easier to navigate accross the country. Finding fuel stations along the route is one of the diffuclties they face. 

Problem
It is really hard to plan your driving trip across the country if your vehicle uses alternative fuels. You have to spend a lot of time trying to figure out the fuel stops.
