I ran the command rails generate controller sessions to build my sessions applications file. The sessions_controller.rb and /views/sessions/ folder were created. However, I am not seeing the following files in the sessions folder:
create.html.erb
destroy.html.erb
new.html.erb
Are these files supposed to be auto generated or is it okay to create them manually?
>Solution :
rails g controller sessions
will only create a controller itself and a directory to house the views, no routes or view files.
To get those files, instead run
rails g controller sessions create destroy new
Note that when the routes are generated for this, they will not be named routes. They will loo like:
get 'sessions/create'
get 'sessions/destroy'
get 'sessions/new'
So it might be preferable to change those to a resource
resources :sessions, only: [:create, :new, :destroy]
which will give you the ability to use those paths, eg,
new_session_path
Alternatively, you could create you own names for them
get 'sessions/new', to: 'sessions#create', as: :new
