Quickstart

First, clone this repository. Then:

> bundle exec rspec # Run the tests to ensure it works
> bin/rails server # Start the server at localhost:3000

Database initial set up log

We observed that the posts table had already been made (despite not having a user id column).

Add the Users table

Create the migrate file:

$ bin/rails generate model Users email:string name:string password:string

Notes:

1. We are used to using varchar for emails/passwords etc, but ‘string is the universal term for this datatype (we speculate).
2. Timestamps ( created_at and updated_at) are created by default.

Run migrate to update the database:

 $ bin/rails db:migrate

Updating our posts table by adding foreign (user) key:

Update the Posts Table to introduce foreign key ( Users.id)

Note: we can’t manually change the /schema.rb file How to update existing table with foreign key guide:

Reference: Add a reference column migration in Rails 4 - Stack Overflow

Then,

$ bin/rails db:migrate ```
