The first thing we need is a database table to store our blog posts. We create a Rails model (the M in MVC) to create the database and a Ruby class for us to interact with the database table.
We now want to create new Blog Posts in our Rails app, not directly in the database. To do this, we're going to start by building a new action and form for inputting data for our Rails model.
Handling form submissions with Rails teaches us about strong parameters and saving data with our Rails models into the database.
Implementing Edit and Update actions are straightforward now. We can reuse what we've learned with New and Create and reuse some of the logic to edit and update database records in Rails.
We want to be able to delete blog posts we no longer want. We'll learn how to delete blog posts and refactor our code in this lesson.
