This is an extention of Chapter 4. In Chapter 4, the aim was to set-up
a database and successfully connect to it. This chapter was more about
querying the database and displaying the results in the '.html'
templates.
I do not know why, but I was having a lot of trouble with naming
conflicts for hours. I could not work it out and in the end I do not
what I changed which caused the code to start working. One of the
tactics I used was replace ':' with '#:' in the 'defpackages' and
'.asd' file. Like I said, I do not know if this change caused the code
to start working. But, if you are wondering why the sudden change in
the code base, that is why.
I did not notice I added a comment at the end of the ':depends' on
section which cause the closing parenthesis to become part of the
comment. When I have tried to load the system (using ASDF), it was
throwing errors because of this. I though I fix it in the previous
commit but I just created a mess so good it fixed the problem -- at a
basic functioning level. I do not know how the system was loading with
the .asd in its previous state but it did. Anyway, here we
are. '(asdf:load-system :rails-to-caveman)' should run on repeat
now and not produce any errors...
Mito is a new package introduced in Chapter 4. Clack-Errors was first
added in Chapter 1 but I, some how, managed to remove it. I am
re-adding here and committing it so I have a log of me adding it --
and remove doubt on me accidentally thinking I added. Which, to be
honest, is something I cannot rule out.
