Sinatra on Cloud9

README.md

Cloud 9 - Sinatra

Setting Up Cloud9

• Go to c9.io and log in
• Create a new workspace
  • Workspace name = hello-world
  • Clone from Git or Mercurial URL = https://gist.github.com/2f5f8bd2fdf583dc757a.git
  • (everything else at defaults)

In Cloud9

Check out the files you have in this folder, see what they have.

In the terminal (at the bottom where it says bash) type:

• bundle install
  • this will install the ruby gems listed in the Gemfile that you need to have sinatra run
• ruby hello_world.rb -o $IP -p $PORT
  • this will run the file hello_world.rb, and tell it to make the site available online at a location.
  • Cloud 9 has wired things up so $IP and $PORT contains what it should on their server.
• In the menu bar, click Preview => Preview Running Application and a browser pane will appear.
• After each change you make to our files:
  • save the file(s)
  • refresh the browser pane

Templates

• Make a folder views
• Add the file views/index.erb (a file named index.erb in the folder views/) with the content

<h1>This is my index.erb file contents oh my.</h1>

• modify hello_world.rb to use index.erb instead of returning a string.
  • Within the get '/' do: change "Hello World! Welcome to Ruby!" to erb :index.

Pass Params

• Modify your hello_world.rb get '/' do to include:

  get '/' do 
    num = params['num'].to_i
    @result = num+10
    status 200
    erb :index  
  end

• Now in your index.erb add this to show the result

  <%= "The result if #{@result}" %>

If we add ?num=10 to the url (mine looks like https://test-sk187.c9users.io/?num=10), the result should 20

• Now try to modify the code in hello_world.rb's get '/' route to work with the fizzbuzz code we did earlier.

Pair Exercise

Get your FizzBuzz code from earlier to work on Sinatra.

• Goal: You go to mysite.com/?num=10 and it displays on the page whether it is fizz, buzz, etc. For example 10: Fizz.
• You'll want to pass the result fizz or buzz to the template by assigning it to the variable @result.
• You'll want to use a function def fizzbuzz... that returns a value

Gemfile

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'sinatra'
gem 'sinatra-contrib'

hello_world.rb

require 'sinatra'
require 'sinatra/reloader' if development?

# Commands to run
#
# Things to try
# * have the page display "Howdy!"
# * have the page display some HTML (paste some HTML in the string)
#
# Bonus
# * have the page display the current time (google "ruby current time")
# * have the page display the current time, formatted in a nicer way. (google "ruby strftime" which stands for string-format-time)

get '/' do
  "Hello World! Welcome to Ruby!"
end
