In this lab, you'll be building a Pig Latinizer using Sinatra and the MVC paradigm of app development. Pig Latin is a made-up language formed from English by transferring the initial consonant or consonant blend (for example, "ch" or "str") of each word to the end of the word along with the syllable "-ay". If the word begins with a vowel sound, then we add the sound of "way" to the end of the word.
Examples:
- "noodle soup" becomes "oodlenay oupsay"
- "flatiron school" becomes "atironflay oolschay"
- "big apple" becomes "igbay appleway" (note the added "w" in "appleway")
Your app will take in a string from a user through a form, convert it to pig latin, and return the string to the user. Using the previous code-along as a guide, get the tests to pass by building out this application. Use the guide below to get you started!
-
Build a form to take user input in user_input.erb. Show that form using a
GETrequest at/. -
Create a
POSTmethod in your controller (app.rb) to receive your form'sparams. -
Build a
PigLatinizermodel (in your models directory) that converts a string into pig latin. -
In your application controller, create an instance of the
PigLatinizerclass to convert your user input to Pig Latin. -
Use ERB within a new view to display the final pig latin string to the user.
