System Check Two Notes

Learning Goals

• Generate a dynamic web page in response to a GET request.
• Persist information from a user submitted via a POST request.
• Implement code based on acceptance tests.

Building a Favorites List App

Building a list keeping app with Sinatra with dynamic web pages and saves information to a file.

Our app should satisfy the following requirements:

• Visiting GET /favorites should display a list of our favorite things as well as a form for adding a new item to the list.
• Visiting GET / should redirect the user to GET /favorites.
• The "thing" listed must be in html list element.
• The form requires a favorite thing to be specified.
• The list of favorite things is read from the favorites_list.csv file which stores each item on a new line.
• The form submits to POST /favorites which saves the new item to the favorites_list.csv file.
• Submitting an empty form does not modify the favorites_list.csv file.

To use this as a practice:

• Run this in your terminal: git clone https://github.com/EliseFitz15/launcher-favorites-list.git
• Then go into the directory cd launcher-favorites-list
• bundle then rspec
• Work through the test errors

When finished it you would like to push this to your github do the following:

• In the terminal: git remote rm origin
• Go to Github and set up your own repo
• Terminal: git remote add origin <your-remote-repo-url>
• Then add and push your own work.
  • git add .
  • git commit -m "initial commit"
  • git push origin master
