Create a simple controller

rails generate controller Say hello goodbye

      create  app/controllers/say_controller.rb

       route  get 'say/goodbye'

       route  get 'say/hello'

      invoke  erb

      create    app/views/say

      create    app/views/say/hello.html.erb

      create    app/views/say/goodbye.html.erb

      invoke  test_unit

      create    test/controllers/say_controller_test.rb

      invoke  helper

      create    app/helpers/say_helper.rb

      invoke    test_unit

      invoke  assets

      invoke    coffee

      create      app/assets/javascripts/say.js.coffee

      invoke    scss

      create      app/assets/stylesheets/say.css.scss

edit app/controllers/say_controller.rb

class SayController < ApplicationController

  def hello

  end

  def goodbye

  end

end

Start the server.

Attempt to fetch the file - note that it is missing

get /say/hello

Replace file with a simple hello world

edit app/views/say/hello.html.erb

<h1>Hello from Rails!</h1>

This time it works!

get /say/hello

Add a simple expression

edit app/views/say/hello.html.erb

<h1>Hello from Rails!</h1>

<p>

  It is now <%= Time.now %>

</p>

get /say/hello

Evaluate the expression in the controller.

edit app/controllers/say_controller.rb

class SayController < ApplicationController

  def hello

    @time = Time.now

  end

  def goodbye

  end

end

Reference the result in the view.

edit app/views/say/hello.html.erb

<h1>Hello from Rails!</h1>

<p>

  It is now <%= @time %>

</p>

get /say/hello

Replace the goodbye template

edit app/views/say/goodbye.html.erb

<h1>Goodbye!</h1>

<p>

  It was nice having you here.

</p>

get /say/goodbye

Add a link from the hello page to the goodbye page

edit app/views/say/hello.html.erb

<h1>Hello from Rails!</h1>

<p>

  It is now <%= @time %>

</p>

<p>

  Time to say

  <%= link_to "Goodbye", say_goodbye_path %>!

</p>

get /say/hello

Add a link back to the hello page

edit app/views/say/goodbye.html.erb

<h1>Goodbye!</h1>

<p>

  It was nice having you here.

</p>

<p>

  Say <%= link_to "Hello", say_hello_path %> again.

</p>

get /say/goodbye
