This assignment will use Laravel and the chinook SQLite database.

All Laravel assignments, labs, and class demos will build on the same installation. Start this assignment from the same installation we did in class.

The Genres Page

Create a page with the route /genres that displays all genres from the genres table. Define a route that maps to a controller called GenresController.

Each genre should be an anchor that links to /tracks?genre=GENRE_NAME, where GENRE_NAME is replaced with each genre, i.e. Rock, Blues, Reggae, etc.

The Tracks by Genre Page

Next, create a page with the route /tracks. This page should display all tracks for the genre query string parameter. For each track, display the following information:

• track name
• album title
• artist name
• price

The /tracks route should map to a controller called TracksController.

To access the genre query string parameter value, use the query() method off of the request object. Check out the "Retrieving Input From The Query String" documentation to see an example.

Other Requirements

• Use Laravel's Blade templating.
• All database queries should use Laravel's query builder
• All routes should map to a controller

Tips

• You can create a controller using the artisan command: php artisan make:controller GenresController.

Submission

• Please push up your code including the database to GitHub to a repository named EXACTLY itp405-laravel. You will be using this repository for all Laravel assignments, labs, and class lectures. As mentioned in class, you can use the same installation of Laravel that we did in class, unless you want the experience of doing it yourself :)
• Deploy your app to Heroku by following these instructions. Verify that your app has been deployed and it works on Heroku.
• Send an email to me and the TA with the repository URL and the URL to the live site on Heroku. Please use the subject line ITP 405 Assignment Submission - Laravel 1.
