Question

class ItemController < ApplicationController

  def create
    item = current_user.items.build(params[:presentstem])
    item.created_at = Time.now
    item.save!
    redirect_to root_path
  end

  def destroy

  end

end

And my form in views/home/index/html.erb to add an item

<div id="add_item">
    <p>Add a new item</p>
    <% form_for Item.new do |f| %>
        <div id="add_item_container">
        <%= f.text_field :present %>
        <%= f.text_field :stem %>
        <%= f.text_field :secondary %>
        <%= f.check_box :atype %>
        <%= f.text_field :comment %>
        </div>
        <%= f.submit "Add to List" %>
    <% end %>
</div>

How do I define Item?

at localhost:3000 I get

Expected /Users/user/Desktop/test/app/models/item.rb to define Item

You should have Item class definition in this file /Users/user/Desktop/test/app/models/item.rb, probably you don’t…

class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
  #class definition goes here
end
