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

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

Q7. Which choice includes standard REST HTTP verbs?

GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE
REDIRECT, RENDER, SESSION, COOKIE
INDEX, SHOW, NEW, CREATE, EDIT, UPDATE, DESTROY
CREATE, READ, UPDATE, DELETE

Q8. Which ActiveRecord query prevents SQL injection?

Product.where("name = #{@keyword}")
Product.where("name = " << @keyword}
Product.where("name = ?", @keyword
Product.where("name = " + h(@keyword)

Q9. Given this code, which statement about the database table "documents" could be expected to be true?

class Document < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :documentable, polymorphic: true
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.
No, instance variables in a controller are private and are not accessible.
No, instance variables can never be set in a controller action method.

Q11. When a validation of a field in a Rails model fails, where are the messages for validation errors stored?

my_model.errors[:field]

Q12. If a database table of users contains the following rows, and `id` is the primary key, which statement would return only an object whose `last_name` is "Cordero"?

-------------------------------

| id | first_name | last_name |
|----|------------|-----------|
| 1  | Alice      | Anderson  |
| 2  | Bob        | Buckner   |
| 3  | Carrie     | Cordero   |
| 4  | Devon      | Dupre     |
| 5  | Carrie     | Eastman   |

-------------------------------

User.where(first_name: "Carrie")
User.not.where(id: [1, 2, 4, 5])
User.find_by(first_name: "Cordero")
User.find(3)

Q13. How would you generate a drop-down menu that allows the user to select from a collection of product names?

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

Q14. For a Rails validator, how would you define an error message for the model attribute `address` with the message "This address is invalid"?

model.errors = This address is invalid
errors(model, :address) << "This address is invalid"
display_error_for(model, :address, "This address is invalid")
model.errors[:address] << "This address is invalid"

Custom Validator

Q15. Given the URL helper `product_path(@product)`, which statement would be expected to be false?

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.
If sent using the GET HTTP method, the URL would execute the show action in ProductsController.
If sent using the DELETE HTTP method, the URL would call the destroy action by default.

Q16. Given this code, which choice would be expected to be a true statement if the user requests the index action?

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
render_with_cache partial: ‘shared/menu’
render partial: ‘shared/menu’
render partial: ‘shared/menu’, cached_with_variables: {}

Q18. What is the reason for using Concerns in Rails?

Concerns allow modularity and code reuse in models, controllers, and other classes.
Concerns are used to separate class methods from models.
Concerns are used to increase security of Rails applications.
Concerns are used to refactor Rails views.

Reference

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.

Q53. Given two models, what is the issue with the query used to fetch them?

class LineItem < ApplicationRecord
end

class Order < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :line_items

This query will result in extensive caching, and you will have to then deal with caching issues.
This query will result in the N+1 query issue. Three orders will result in four queries.
This query will result in the 1 query issue. Three orders will result in one query.
There are no issues with this query, and you are correctly limiting the number of Order models that will be loaded.

Q54. Which choice is an incorrect way to render a partial?

<%= render(:partial => 'shared/product') %>
<%= render('shared/product', :collection => @products) %>
<%= render(template: 'shared/product', with: @products) %>

        has_many :users
    end
    class User < ActiveRecord::Base
        belovngs_to :location

        delegate :city, :state, to: :location, allow_nil: true, prefix: true
    end

@portfolios.each do |portfolio|
    puts portfolio.image.caption
end

It preloads the images files using asset pipeline.
It selects only portfolios that have an image attached.
It includes the number of associated images when determining how many records to return.
It will execute two database queries of 21 database queries.

Q67. What line of code causes the method `decrypt_data` to be run?

  after_find :decrypt_data
end

MyModel.decrypt_data
MyModel.query(id: 42)
MyModel.find(:decrypt_data)

Q73. Which statement about this code will always be true?

class UserController < ActionController::Base
  def show
    @user = User.find_by_id(session[:user_id])
    @user ||= User.first
  end
end

The variable @user will be set to the object returned by User.first unless session[:user_id] has a value.
The result of User.find_by_id is irrelevant because the variable @user will always be set to the object returned by User.first.
If User.find_by_id does not raise an exception, the variable @user will be set to the object returned by User.first.
If User.find_by_id returns nil or false, the variable @user will be set to the object returned by User.first.

Q74. When defining a resource route, seven routes are defined by default. Which two methods allow defining additional routes on the resource?
