pet_store's Introduction

Pet Store

Congratulations! You've just been hired by Purrfect Pets as their new web developer. It's your job to create a website where prospective pet parents can see all the adorable animals waiting to be adopted.

Deliverables

Create a Pet model with the following attributes:
- name - string
- species - string of either "dog", "cat" or "bird"
- year_of_birth - integer
- good_with_kids? - boolean

Make sure your routes are following REST conventions!

Home page at / welcoming people to your pet store
Create an index page at /pets that lists all animals
Each animal should be a link to that pet's detail page
- detail page should list the pet's name in the format of "Petey the Cat"
- should list the pet's age (not the birth year! Figure out the age without hardcoding the current year)
- Either "Good with children" or "Prefers a home without children"
- detail page should link back to index page
Create pages at /dogs, /cats and /birds listing the respective animals. (Hint: Do you really need another view here, or can you use something you've already built?)

Bonus

Add a column to the database to store a url to the picture of an animal. Show the picture on the pet's detail page
Provide links on your index page to sort by age or alphabetically by name. Don't make a new route: use get parameters to let your user choose how to sort (hint: ?sort_by=name or ?sort_by=age). You'll need to Google!
