- Respond to HTTP Requests with Sinatra Routes.
- Render ERB from a Sinatra Action.
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!
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.
-
Create a template called
hello.erb
inviews
that contains anh1
tag with the contentHello World
. This should get rendered via a GET/hello
route by yourApp
controller inapp.rb
. -
Create another template called
goodbye.erb
inviews
. In this view, use ERB tags to create a variablename
. This variable should store the nameJoe
. Then, using ERB tags, say "Goodbye Joe" in anh1
tag. This should get rendered via a GET/goodbye
route by yourApp
controller inapp.rb
. -
Create a template called
date.erb
inviews
that gets rendered via GET/date
. It should contain anh1
with the contentToday
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
