Setup

For today’s lab, we are going to continue building the Record Collection.

Objective

• Add Songs to our application
• Open your Record Collection project.
  • Run the project, and make sure you have the Record#Index, #Show, #New, and #Create actions working.
• If you have been absent or can’t find your project, follow these steps:
  • Fork and Clone it from this Starter Repository.
  • Build the project (let your instructor know if you receive any errors!).
    • Open the database in pgAdmin, and create some records by running the following script (feel free to update the albums and artists to your favorites!).

        INSERT INTO albums (title, artist, release_date)
        VALUES
        ('Stop Making Sense', 'Talking Heads', '1984-06-24'),
        ('Banana Winds', 'Jimmy Buffet', '1996-12-06')
