Rails Views & Helpers Training

Objective: Refactor forms, links, and redirects in this application to take advantage of Rails partials, view helpers (form_for and link_to), and path prefixes.

Getting Started

1. Fork this repo, and clone it to your local machine.
2. Change directories into rails_views_helpers_training, and bundle install.
3. Run rake db:create db:migrate db:seed (or rake db:setup).
4. Start your Rails server; then you're ready to go!

Steps to Refactor

1. Find five <a></a> tags in the views, and refactor them to use the link_to helper.

Tip: Use Command + Shift + F to bring up an interface to search all project files in Atom or Sublime.

1. Find one form in this application, and refactor it to use the form_for helper.

2. Refactor one instance of duplicate code (hint: recipes new and edit forms) to use a partial.

3. While you're at it, refactor the Bootstrap navbar in the application layout to use a partial or named yield.

4. Find one redirect (redirect_to) in the controller methods, and refactor it to use path prefixes.
