Hi! I just finished watching Chris' API video and it was awesome! I am able to make GET requests to retrieve data in JSON format. However, I was wondering how could I update the record with a PATCH request? I don't think I'm still full grasping the idea of how the params work with the CURL command. I haven't played around with Rails in awhile and looking for some pointers. Thanks!

In addition, here is the code I used for the solution Chris suggested, for anyone interested.

# /models/concerns/location_validations.rb
module LocationValidations
    extend ActiveSupport::Concern

    included do
        validates :name,    presence: true
        validates :address, presence: true
        validates :state,   presence: true
        validates :zipcode, presence: true
        validates :country, presence: true
    end
end

# models/restaurant.rb
class Restaurant < ApplicationRecord
    has_many :branches
    has_and_belongs_to_many :users
    validates :phone, presence: true
    validates :email, presence: true
    include LocationValidations
end

# models/branch.rb
class Branch < ApplicationRecord
    belongs_to :restaurant
    validates :restaurant_id, presence: true
    include LocationValidations
end

Thanks to both of you for the solutions! That worked well.

In my app I have restaurants which have a name, address, state, zipcode, country, and some other stuff. These restaurants have many locations, and each location belongs to a restaurant. The locations also hold a name, address, state, zipcode, and country. I was wondering if there is a clean way of writing validations in their model files without having to repeat myself in each model file? Can validations go into a function?

Thanks.

I actually ended up watching the video and using parts of the video with what I had already built out to get the desired result. Great tutorial though!

Hello!

I am pretty new to Rails and recently signed up to try to get some more exposure. I have been playing around with Elastic Search, but am having a hard time implementing some of the more advanced features. I watched the episode on GoRails, but when I try to boot up the server from the GoRails repo, I constantly get 400 errors. I tried searching my project directory for "fields" an found one result that I replace with stored_fields. Then I tried commenting out that function. However, nothing changes. What am I missing / doing wrong?

Searchkick::InvalidQueryError in QuestionsController#index
[400] {"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"parsing_exception","reason":"The field [fields] is no longer supported, please use [stored_fields] to retrieve stored fields or _source filtering if the field is not stored","line":1,"col":127}],"type":"parsing_exception","reason":"The field [fields] is no longer supported, please use [stored_fields] to retrieve stored fields or _source filtering if the field is not stored","line":1,"col":127},"status":400}

 def index
    query = params[:q].presence || "*"
    @questions = Question.search(query, suggest: true) # The highlighted line from the error page on rails server
  end

  # GET /questions/1
