Introduction to Sinatra

1. What is the purpose of the server file (routing)?

The server file takes in the requests from clients and calls on the appropriate logic/views to send back a response to the client.

2. How do you pass variables into the views?

You can pass instance variables, or you can pass a local variable by passing it via :locals in erb.

3. How can we interpolate ruby into a view (html)?

<%= code = 8 %> is code that is shown

<% code = 8 %> is code that is executed but does not show the result in the view

4. In what format does data come in from a view/form? What do we call it?

hash, params

5. What are params?

they are hashes that hold the send/receive data

its important to note that for 3.) you will pass a variable - code - through to the view that has a value of 8. So in the view you would only need <%= code %> or < % code %>
