Rails form_tag Lab

Objectives

1. Build a functional Rails form using a form_tag
2. Pass a route helper as the argument to a form_tag
3. Pass an options hash with a method to a form_tag
4. Use a text_field_tag and other form controls to create inputs
5. Build a new action that renders a form that submits to the create action

Instructions

The two specs for this lab that are currently failing are located within the form page feature in specs/features/student_spec.rb.

For this lab, you need to build a form to create a new student, create a new student using params in the create route, and redirect to the index route to display all the students. Below are a few items to keep in mind:

• Draw a new and create route for the students resource
• Create a student using the data from the form via params. If you're not sure how the params are being sent from the form, use byebug in your route or puts to display the params in the terminal.
• Redirect to the index route where all students will be displayed

Keys to remember

• Look at the tests to see which field values you should be using

• Make sure to use the form_tag helpers
