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

Instructions

The two specs for this lab that are currently failing are located within the form page feature in specs/features/student_spec.rb.

At a high level, you need to build a form to create a new student, have the form redirect back to the new view template, 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
