Adding A Path

1. Add the new Path to the Seeds

1. Create a new path directory under db/fixtures/paths/ - name the new path directory the same as what the new paths title will be on the site. for example foundations or full_stack_javascript etc.

2. Create a new seed.rb file in the path directory you just created.

3. At the top of the seed.rb file, create your new path:

@path = Seeds::PathSeeder.build do |path|
end

4. Give the path a title:

@path = Seeds::PathSeeder.build do |path|
  path.title = 'Full Stack JavaScript'
end

5. Give the path a description:

@path = Seeds::PathSeeder.build do |path|
  path.title = 'Full Stack JavaScript'
  path.description = "This path teaches you x and y"
end

6. Give the path an identifier_uuid attribute value of 'create_uuid'. This will be replaced by a real uuid automatically when the seed script is run later.

@path = Seeds::PathSeeder.build do |path|
  path.title = 'Full Stack JavaScript'
  path.description = "This path teaches you x and y"
  path.identifier_uuid = 'create_uuid'
end

7. Finally give your path a position, this attribute determines what position the path will be displayed at on the https://www.theodinproject.com/paths page.

@path = Seeds::PathSeeder.build do |path|
  path.title = 'Full Stack JavaScript'
  path.description = "This path teaches you x and y"
  path.identifier_uuid = 'create_uuid'
  path.position = 3
end

8. Add courses, sections and lessons to the path using these guides:

• Adding Courses
• Adding Sections
• Adding Lessons

9. Add the Clean up step to the bottom of the seed.rb file - This will clean up any removed courses from the path in the future.

@path.delete_removed_courses

4. Verify the Path has been Successfully Added

1. Run the seeds task: bin/rails db:seed
2. Run the app locally and check the path is where it should be and contains the courses, sections and lessons you expect.
3. All done 🎉
