Sinatra Views Lab

Objectives

Respond to HTTP Requests with Sinatra Routes.
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 test to get the tests passing and see errors.

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.
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.
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 Friday, August 06, 2021.

Note: The date must match this format exactly, including the 06 for the date if it's in the first nine days of the month. Check out the spec file to see how to get this format if you're stuck!

sinatra-views-lab's Issues

Should also practice creating an index.erb with a get '/' action

Should practice doing ruby in the erb

Currently this is just straight HTML. They've already practiced that. Add in doing some basic ruby in the erb. They don't know how to pass variables in from the controller yet, so just things like the current time? Any other ways you can do some ruby stuff without passing in variables. Make sure it has at least one <%= and one <%

Need for strftime tutorial resource to focus lab learning on ERB

--> 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.

In this lab it would be helpful to list a tutorial resource on strftime. I felt like I spent more time figuring that part out than completing the rest of the lab. Thanks!

Passed this lab without having to use the 'name' variable

I passed this lab--and only afterwards remembered I was going to go back and add the name variable.
Not sure whether this is a problem, but here's my code in 'goodbye.erb':

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Bye</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Goodbye Joe</h1>
  </body>
</html>
