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 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!
