Question

Using the perennial example of a Blog webapp (and all resources are currently automatically mapped in routes.rb):

I have a simple index page that lists all my Post titles. I would like to add a form at the bottom of this page to quickly create new Posts.

I’m new to Rails and can’t seem to figure this out! Please help!

Answer 1

Try something like:

<% form_for Post.new do |form| %>

(Insert fields here:)    

<%= form.label :fieldname %>
<%= form.text_field :fieldname %>

<%= form.submit "Create" %>

<% end %>

Add this to app/views/posts/index.html.erb.
