Objectives

  1. Respond to HTTP Requests with Sinatra Routes.
  2. Render ERB from a Sinatra Action.

Overview

This lesson practices creating ERB views and rendering them from a Sinatra Action in response to an HTTP request. Fork and clone this repository and run bundle install to get started!

Instructions

For each of the following examples, create a .erb file in the views directory and a route in app.rb which renders that template. Make sure each template contains the requested content.

Run shotgun to start a local server so that you can test your app in your browser. Once your application is running, assuming port 9393, the shotgun default, you should be able to hit the following local urls: http://localhost:9393/hello, http://localhost:9393/goodbye, and http://localhost:9393/date.

You can run learn to get the tests passing and see errors.

  1. Create a template called hello.erb in views that contains an h1 tag with the content Hello World. This should get rendered via a GET /hello route by your App controller in app.rb.

  2. Create another template called goodbye.erb in views. In this view, use ERB tags to create a variable name. This variable should store the name Joe. Then, using ERB tags, say "Goodbye Joe" in an h1 tag. This should get rendered via a GET /goodbye route by your App controller in app.rb.

  3. Create a template called date.erb in views that gets rendered via GET /date. It should contain an h1 with the content Today

Using ERB tags, and the DateTime library, display today's date in a p tag. The date should be formatted to look something like this The date is Wednesday, November 18, 2015.
