Sinatra MVC Lab - Pig Latinizer

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!

Instructions

1. Build a form to take user input in user_input.erb. Show that form using a GET request at /.

2. Create a POST method in your controller (app.rb) to receive your form's params.

3. Build a PigLatinizer model (in your models directory) that converts a string into pig latin.

4. In your application controller, create an instance of the PigLatinizer class to convert your user input to Pig Latin.

5. Use ERB within a new view to display the final pig latin string to the user.
