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, have the form redirect back to the new view template (commonly, a create action would redirect to index), and print out the form params to the screen. Below are a few items to keep in mind:

  • Draw a new and create route for the students resource

  • Print out the student value to the view template page

Keys to remember

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

  • Make sure to use the form_tag helpers
