$(document).ready(function () {
// PSEUDO-CODE:
// 1- intercept the form submission event using jQuery
// 2- prevent the default action for that event from happening
// 3- generate a random number between 1 and 6 using JavaScript
// 4- use jQuery to submit an AJAX post to the form's action
// 5- when the AJAX post is done, replace the contents of the "#die" DIV in the DOM using jQuery
$('form').submit(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
// look at form input for debugging
console.log($(this).serialize());
// post!
$.post('/rolls', $(this).serialize(), function(roll_response){
$('#die').html(roll_response);
});

# TODO: convert this route to use AJAX

# If the user passes-in a "value", let's use it. Otherwise, we'll generate a random one.
# See: roll_if_value_is_nil method in the Roll model.

end
