Studio: FlickList 5

You have started to learn about databases, but you haven't yet seen how to incorporate them into an app. So today, we'll simply add a few features onto our project, and get everything teed up for the next studio, when we will finally start persisting user data in a database.

Today we will introduce a second list view, representing the movies that the user has watched (crossed off). In this second view, users will be able to give each movie a rating between 1 and 5 stars.

There is no walkthrough portion of this studio. We leave each of these features to you to add.

Your Tasks

• Modify "My Watchlist" so that you eliminate the need for the "crossoff" form in edit.html. Now, next to every list item/movie listed in "My Watchlist" you should display a button that says "I Watched it!". Clicking the button will result in a confirmation message that the movie has been watched. So you'll need to add a form within the <li> tags of "My Watchlist":

  <form action="/crossoff" method="post">
  {{ movie }}
  <input type="hidden" name="crossed-off-movie" value="{{ movie }}"/>
  <input type="submit" value="I Watched it!"/>
  </form>

  Be sure to delete the "crossoff" form from edit.hmtl when you have completed this particular task.

• Implement the feature where users can rate the movies they have watched.

  1. Make a ratings.html template which is an index of all movies that have been watched and are available to rate. Add forms for rating movies, one on each list item in the ratings.html template. This will also require you to create:
     • A handler function, movie_ratings, to handle a get request and render the template at /ratings
     • A function, get_watched_movies, to get the list of crossed off movies. For now, create a hard-coded list with a few movie titles. We'll update this to pull from a database in the next studio.
  2. Make a rating-confirmation.html template, to be displayed when the user rates a movie they have crossed off.
     • You will also need to create a rate_movie function that handles a post request on /rating-confirmation and renders the rating-confirmation template.

Here is a video demo of all the behavior your app should demonstrate at the completion of this Studio's tasks.
