Question

I am new to Sinatra.

I work currently on a project that is supposed to use a array,

for example: ary = ['a','b','c']

to covert it into an HTML table (possible using an .erb file).

The table should have a single column with as many rows, as there are strings (dynamic).

for example:

• a
• b
• c
• (any other item of the array)

I don’t really have a clue how to do that and I tried code from similar projects, that didn’t work. I hope its even possible to do.

Answer 1

In the controller do

get '/something' do
  @ary = ['a','b','c']
  erb :'something'
end

In the view named something you can do

<table>
<% @ary.each do |elem| %>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <%= elem %>
    </td>
  </tr>
<% end %>
</table>
