Python Database Blog Tags Lab

An adventure in Many-to-Many relationships

Concept

This lab will expand your blog capabilities even furthur! After this lab you will be able to tag any specific blog post and see all the posts that you have tagged. This will demonstrate a Many-to-Many relationship, where one post can have many tags, and one tag can have many posts.

Objectives

• Understand the code that went into creating the Many to Many model
• Make a corresponding front end that allows users to create tags
• Show the full list of tags on a page
• Show a list of all posts, their comments, and tags

Directions

1. Fill in the tag handler so it gets the Tag Name and adds it to the post entry
2. Fill out the route so that WSGIApplication accepts the /tags route and passes it to the TagHandler
3. Fill out the form in index.html so that it passes the tag name to the /tags route
4. Pass all of the tags to our tags.html page
5. Fill out tags.html so that it displays a list of tags
6. Each tag should have a list of posts within it's section.

Stretch

• Make the site look better with CSS and more creative HTML
• Validate tag content and title name
