Rails API Lab

It's your turn now to create an API using what we learned, your notes, previous repositories, the power of the internet, and your fellow developers.

Create a Cookbook API

• Create a full cookbook API.
• You should have an Ingredient model, Ingredients controller, and matching routes.
• Your Ingredient model should have name, std_measure and color columns.
• Via migration add a column called toxicity
• Have a serializer, that censors sensitive information from the client.
• Make a sucessful curl request for all C.R.U.D actions.

Tips

• Be meticulous, did you check your pluralization? is your spelling correct? Did you miss and end?
• Test frequently, check for errors in your browser and server.
• Follow your errors, they typically give you a line number, be patient. You should be able to identity the exact line of your bug before you ask for assistance.
• Remember to use the generators to your advantage. They can save you valuable time.
