•  <%= render partial: "nav", selected: "about"}%>
•  <%= render partial: "nav", local_variables: {selected: "about"} %>
•  <%= render partial: "nav", locals: {selected: "about"}

Q2. Within a Rails controller, which code will prevent the parent controller's before_action :get_feature from running?

•  skip_before_action :get_feature
•  skip :get_feature, except: []
•  prevent_action :get_feature
•  :redis_cache_store

Q3. Which statement correctly describes a difference between the form helper methods form_tag and form_for?

•  The form_tag method is for basic forms, while the form_for method is for multipart forms that include file uploads.
•  The form_tag method is for HTTP requests, while the form_for method is for AJAX requests.
•  The form_tag method typically expects a URL as its first argument, while the form_for method typically expects a model object.
•  The form_tag method is evaluated at runtime, while the form_for method is precompiled and cached.

Q4. What is before_action (formerly known as before_filter)?

•  A trigger that is executed before an alteration of an object's state
•  A method that is executed before an ActiveRecord model is saved
•  A callback that fires before an event is handled
•  A method in a controller that is executed before the controller action method

Q5. Which module can you use to encapsulate a cohesive chunk of functionality into a mixin?

•  ActiveSupport::Concern
•  RailsHelper.CommonClass
•  ActiveJob::Mixin

Q6. In Rails, which code would you use to define a route that handles both the PUT and PATCH REST HTTP verbs?

•  match 'items', to 'items#update', via: [:put, :patch]
•  match :items, using: put && patch

end

class Product < ActiveRecord::Base

  has_many :documents, as: :documentable

end

class Service < ActiveRecord::Base

  has_many :documents, as: :documentable

end

•  It would include a column for :type.
•  It would include columns for :documentable_id and :documentable_type.
•  It would include columns for :documentable and :type.
•  It would include a column for :polymorphic_type.

Q10. Are instance variables set within a controller method accessible within a view?

•  Yes, any instance variables that are set in an action method on a controller can be accessed and displayed in a view.
•  Yes, instance variables set within an action method are accessible within a view, but only when render is explicitly called inside the action method.

•  User.find_by(first_name: "Cordero")
•  User.find(3)

•  <%= select_tag(@products) %>
•  <%= collection_select(@products) %>
•  <select name="product_id"> <%= @products.each do |product| %> <option value="<%= product.id %>"/> <% end %></select>

•  If sent using the PATCH HTTP method, the URL could be used to update a product in the database.
•  If sent using the POST HTTP method, the URL would create a new product in the database.

class DocumentsController < ApplicationController

  before_action :require_login

  def index

    @documents = Document.visible.sorted

  end

end

•  The user's documents will be loaded.
•  The index action will run normally because :index is not listed as an argument to before_action.
•  The require_login method will automatically log in the user before running the index action.
•  The index action will not be run if the require_login method calls render or redirect_to.

Q17. In Rails, how would you cache a partial template that is rendered?

•  render partial: ‘shared/menu’, cached: true

Q21. In ActiveRecord, what is the difference between the has_many and has_many :through associations?

•  The has_many: through association is the one-to-many equivalent to the belongs_to one-to-one association.
•  Both associations are identical, and has_many: through is maintained only for legacy purposes.
•  The has_many association is a one-to-many association, while has_many: through is a one-to-one association that matches through a third model.
•  Both are one-to-many associations but with has_many :through, the declaring model can associate through a third model.

Q22. How do you add Ruby code inside Rails views and have its result outputted in the HTML file?

•  Create an embedded Ruby file (.html.erb) and surround the Ruby code with <% %>.
•  Insert Ruby code inside standard HTML files and surround it with <% %>. The web server will handle the rest.
•  Create an embedded Ruby file (.html.erb) and surround the Ruby code with <%= %>.
•  Put the code in an .rb file and include it in a <link> tag of an HTML file.

Q23. How would you render a view using a different layout in an ERB HTML view?

    else

      render('edit')

  def product_params

    params.require(:product).permit(:name, :style, :color)

  end

end

•  The product will not be updated and the edit template will be rendered.
•  The product will not be updated and the controller will raise an ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributes exception.
•  The product will be updated with the values for name, style, and color, but the value for price will be ignored.
•  The product will be updated with the values for name, style, color, and price.
