Pokenatra

Objectives

At minimum, build a single-model Sinatra application that allows for the creating, reading, updating and deleting of Pokemon.

Listed below are the various potential ERDs for this app in increasing difficulty. Do not attempt to code an ERD unless you have already finished coding the domains before it (i.e., "I can only do Silver if I've finished the MVP"). Remember, a polished MVP is better than a non-functional Silver.

NOTE: You cannot give an Active Record model an attribute/column called type because it is a reserved word in Rails.

Recommendations

• Build a seed file so that you have data you can test your UI against.
• If you need help coming up with values for your Pokemon attributes, find inspiration in sample_data.rb.
• Be able to CRUD a Pokemon in Pry before doing that through Sinatra.
• Build the UI after the previous steps have been completed.
