Why do we use post_id even though we didn't created one in the model? Kenneth did the same thing for user_id as well. Am I missing something?

Treehouse TeacherHi there, Neslihan Kara! He's setting models.Post.id and models.User.id to be equal to the post_id and user_id that are coming in through the route. That being said, the id on those models is an automatic thing. Each model gets an id in the table in the database. When you create the first post, it will get an id of 1, the second post will get an id of 2 etc. It's what is known as an autoincrementing value.
Hope this helps!
