Introduction to Sinatra

1. What is the purpose of the server file (routing)?

###The server file contains http verbs that dictate how a page is rendered, what logic is executed and what will be sent back to the client.

2. How do you pass variables into the views?

###Pass a var to the server file. The server file uses ERB to translate a designated file in the views dir.

3. How can we interpolate ruby into a view (html)?

ERB! Server gets the vars, sends them to erb file and that translates them

4. In what format does data come in from a view/form? What do we call it?

HTML - this is the format that it is sent back to the server.

5. What are params?

params are hashes of data built from forms

For 4 - I was looking for was params. The data will come through as a hash called params. Kinda tricky because 5 asks about params again. Also, the values of the params hash are strings. Not all data in the params hash has to come from a form, but the data we get from the form will come through in the params hash
