For this challenge, we'll be working with a Movie Review domain, like Netflix.
We have three models: Viewer
, Movie
, and Review
.
A Movie
has many Review
s. A Viewer
has many Review
s. A Review
belongs to a Viewer
and belongs to a Movie
.
Viewer
- Movie
is a many to many relationship.
Note: You should draw your domain on paper or on a whiteboard before you start coding. Remember to identify a single source of truth for your data.
- Classes and Instances
- Class and Instance Methods
- Variable Scope
- Object Relationships
- Arrays and Array Methods
To get started, run bundle install
while inside of this directory.
Build out all of the methods listed in the deliverables. The methods are listed in a suggested order, but you can feel free to tackle the ones you think are easiest. Be careful: some of the later methods rely on earlier ones.
Remember! This code challenge does not have tests. You cannot run rspec
and you cannot run learn
. You'll need to create your own sample instances so that you can try out your code on your own. Make sure your associations and methods work in the console before submitting.
We've provided you with a tool that you can use to test your code. To use it, run ruby tools/console.rb
from the command line. This will start a pry
session with your classes defined. You can test out the methods that you write here. You can add code to the tools/console.rb
file to define variables and create sample instances of your objects.
Writing error-free code is more important than completing all of the deliverables listed - prioritize writing methods that work over writing more methods that don't work. You should test your code in the console as you write.
Similarly, messy code that works is better than clean code that doesn't. First, prioritize getting things working. Then, if there is time at the end, refactor your code to adhere to best practices. Examples of best practices might be to use higher-level array methods such as map
, select
, and find
when appropriate in place of each
, or, when you encounter duplicated logic, to extract it into a shared helper method.
Before you submit! Save and run your code to verify that it works as you expect. If you have any methods that are not working yet, feel free to leave comments describing your progress.
Write the following methods in the classes in the files provided. Feel free to build out any helper methods if needed.
Deliverables use the notation #
for instance methods, and .
for class methods.
Some of the methods listed are provided to you in the starter code. You should check that they work correctly, and that you understand them.
Movie#initialize(title)
Movie
is initialized with a title (string)- title can be changed after the
Movie
is initialized
Movie#title
- returns the
Movie
's title
- returns the
Movie.all
- returns an array of all the
Movie
instances that have been initialized
- returns an array of all the
Viewer#initialize(username)
Viewer
is initialized with a username (string)- username can be changed after the Viewer is initialized
Viewer#username
- returns the Viewer's username
Viewer.all
- returns an array of all the Viewer instances that have been initialized
Review#initialize(viewer, movie, rating)
Review
is initialized with aViewer
instance, aMovie
instance, and a rating (number)
Review#rating
- returns the rating for the
Review
instance
- returns the rating for the
Review.all
- returns an array of all initialized
Review
instances
- returns an array of all initialized
Review#viewer
- returns the
Viewer
instance associated with theReview
instance
- returns the
Review#movie
- returns the
Movie
instance associated with theReview
instance
- returns the
Viewer#reviews
- returns an array of
Review
instances associated with theViewer
instance.
- returns an array of
Viewer#reviewed_movies
- returns an array of
Movie
instances reviewed by theViewer
instance.
- returns an array of
Movie#reviews
turns an array of all theReview
instances for theMovie
.Movie#reviewers
- returns an array of all of the
Viewer
instances that reviewed theMovie
.
- returns an array of all of the
Viewer#reviewed_movie?(movie)
- a
Movie
instance is the only argument - returns
true
if theViewer
has reviewed thisMovie
(if there is aReview
instance that has thisViewer
andMovie
), returnsfalse
otherwise
- a
Viewer#rate_movie(movie, rating)
- a
Movie
instance and a rating (number) are passed in as arguments - if the
Viewer
instance and the passedMovie
instance are not already associated, this method should create a newReview
instance - if this
Viewer
has already reviewed thisMovie
, assigns the new rating to the existingReview
instance
- a
Movie#average_rating
- returns the average of all ratings for the
Movie
instance - to average ratings, add all ratings together and divide by the total number of ratings.
- returns the average of all ratings for the
Movie.highest_rated
- returns the
Movie
instance with the highest average rating.
- returns the
