Path Helpers
1. Run the rake routes command in the terminal
2. In the routes file, put \'as: "prefix_name"\'

Tying It Back
1. All commands are issued to the API via the terminal, whereas changes by way of the website are done through a web browser.
2. HTML: form class/action and input class/type. Rails equivalents: form_tag and submit_tag, respectively
