// Use the TypeScript compiler to check your database rules.
// You'll get the most out of type checking if you define a database schema
// through interfaces and use it both in the web client and with the database rules.
// The compiler will catch misspellings and structural errors.
// It won't check for completeness since all properties are optional.
// Only works with TypeScript 2.1 and up because of mapped types being used.

Friendly URLs

By default, Rails applications build URLs based on the primary key -- the id column from the database. Imagine we have a Person model and associated controller. We have a person record for Bob Martin that has id number 6. The URL for his show page would be:

/people/6

But, for aesthetic or SEO purposes, we want Bob's name in the URL. The last segment, the 6 here, is called the "slug". Let's look at a few ways to implement better slugs.
