Rails Forms Lab

Overview

In this lab, you'll practice building forms in Rails by creating a basketball team sign-up sheet. Your application will have a basic HTML form using Rails form helpers, and will display the data from the form after it has been submitted by the user.

Instructions

1. Run bundle install

2. Run bin/rails server

3. Set up your routes in config/routes.rb:

   • Create a route that responds to a GET request at /newteam that goes to teams#new
   • Create a route that responds to a POST request at /team that goes to teams#create

4. Create controller actions in app/controllers/teams_controller.rb:

   • Add a new action to display the form
   • Add a create action to process the form submission and pass data to the view

5. Build the form in app/views/teams/new.html.erb:

   • Use Rails form_with helper to create your form
   • The form should submit to /team using POST method
   • Add fields for: Team name ('name'), Coach ('coach'), Point Guard ('pg'), Shooting Guard ('sg'), Power Forward ('pf'), Small Forward ('sf'), Center ('c')
   • Include a submit button with id="Submit"

6. Display the results in app/views/teams/create.html.erb:

   • Show all the submitted team information
   • Display each field with labels like "Team Name: [name]", "Coach: [coach]", etc.

Testing

Run bundle exec rspec to test your implementation. Make sure all tests pass!

The tests will check that:

• Your routes are set up correctly
• Your form has all the required fields
• Your form submits to the correct endpoint
• Your results page displays all the submitted data correctly
