Sessions Controller Lab

Objectives

We're going to build a Rails app that handles sessions with a SessionsController. We won't have passwords—for now, we're going to ask the user what to call them, and we'll just use that as their username.

Introduction

Our app will have two pages:

1. a home page or root route. * if the user is not logged in, the page should show them a login link. * if the user is logged in, the page should say, "hi, #{name}", and provide a logout link.
2. a login page * users can enter their name in a form and click 'login'. Thereafter, the app will refer to them by that name. * if the user does not enter a name, they are not logged in. Return them to the login page.

Instructions

1. Create the sessions controller.

Note: If you use the generators to generate your controllers be sure to pass these flags to avoid generating unneeded files: rails generate controller Sessions new --no-helper --no-assets --no-controller-specs.

2. Write the new, create, and destroy methods.

3. Write feature tests for your views that ensure the app functions as we described in the overview.

4. Create the views that make your tests pass!
