I just started deploying a Rails website. In fact, I started programming on Rails 2 days ago.
I’ve created a new project, added some gems, etc. Everything is working properly, and I have some basic knowledge on how all works.
The thing is that what I want to create is a simple website with some sections (let’s say, News, Contact, About, Products…). All this content is kinda static.
But I came in a problem. I don’t really know what to do in order to create them. What I want, for example, is something like mypage.com/products/fashionableproduct, mypage.com/about, etc, or even mypage.com/page/products.
I thought about creating a Controller, then an action for each page… afterwards, I came up with other solution: scaffolding. Creating a resource called page, that has a title, etc…
I’m really a beginner on this topic, and I would like to hear your helpful voice.
Thanks!
