MJ Coded It

For example:

 get ‘/login’ do

  @duck = “quack"

  if logged_in?

     redirect “/projects”

  else

     erb :login

   end

end

 Here in the corresponding view, the @duck variable is valid and can be accessed is the block of code above. What I believed was, that because the variable was used and had a definition in the same block, that the variable would be passed in with the redirect. However, when you redirect to a new route it is like a new instance.

  I believe my biggest hindrance to understanding this was the use of helpers in my case the session.

For example:

 get '/projects/:project_project_name' do

   if Helpers.is_logged_in?(session)

     @user = Helpers.current_user(session)

     @project = Helpers.current_project(session)

     erb :'projects/projects'

   else

     redirect '/login'

   end

 end

This is my second final project at Flatiron School. This one is Sinatra based and focuses on CRUD(Create,Read,Update,Destroy) and RESTful routes. Before my coding hiatus, I had completed this section up to this lab, so the first step of the completion process was review. After reminding myself how to code the routes and create databases and their relationships, I had to look into how to make sure the usernames and project names would be unique. I then created hyperlinks for easy route navigation.
