# mirth-final.rb
# Replace code with Rails library

require 'rack'
require 'rack/handler/puma'

# Add the Rails libraries we need
require 'action_controller'
require 'active_record'
require 'action_dispatch'

# Create a connection between AR and the database
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(adapter: "sqlite3", database: "mirth.sqlite3")

# Create a AR model for the birthdays
class Birthday < ActiveRecord::Base; end

# Ensure the Action Controller reads views from root
ActionController::Base.prepend_view_path(".")

# Create a router to manage endpoints
router = ActionDispatch::Routing::RouteSet.new

# Create a controller for birthdays 
# Each action represents an endpoint 
class BirthdaysController < ActionController::Base
  def index
    @all_birthdays = Birthday.all
  end

  def create
    Birthday.create(name: params['name'], date: params["date"])
    redirect_to(birthdays_path, status: :see_other)
  end

  def all_paths
    render(plain: "✅ Received a #{request.request_method} request to #{request.path}!")
  end
end

# Create router to manage endpoints 
router = ActionDispatch::Routing::RouteSet.new

# Include url helpers module to use `birthdays_path`
BirthdaysController.include(router.url_helpers)

router.draw do
  # Creates standardised CRUD routes mapped to the controller
  resources :birthdays

  # Routes all paths to `birthdays#all_paths` action method
  match '*path', via: :all, to: 'birthdays#all_paths'
end 

Rack::Handler::Puma.run(router, :Port => 1337, :Verbose => true)

Many thanks for this tutorial 👍

Great article / tutorial, thank you very much!
One question though: Shouldn't be in the index.html.erb file, line 14
<%= text_field_tag("name") %>
and line 18
<%= date_field_tag("date", nil) %>
?
