Specs

1 - Model

Generate the Article model through the right rails generator. It should have at least the following columns:

• title, as a string
• content, as a text

Don't hesitate to crash test your new model in the rails console:

new_article = Article.new(title: 'The meaning of life', content: "It's 42!")
new_article.valid?  # => should be `true`
new_article.save    # => should not display rollback warnings
Article.last        # => should be the one you just saved

2 - Seed

Add the faker gem to your Gemfile and run bundle install. Use this gem to generate 10 fake articles in db/seeds.rb. When your code is done, you can run:

rails db:seed

3 - Routes, Controller & Views

Generate your controller, and implement all 7 CRUD default actions to list, show, create, update and destroy an article.

You can now directly use the resources shortcut in your routes.

Have a look at the live app to see what it should look like. Try to make the forms look like this with CSS. Create the icons using font awesome.
