Ruby On Rails: Making Your First Dynamic Site - Choosing Which View to View

(Page 4 of 4 )

Since we are essentially creating a time-clock that reminds us when to work, eat lunch, and go home, we will have to edit the controller file to make our actions trigger based on the time of day.

Go ahead and open the decision.rb file and modify the code so it matches mine:

class DecisionController < ApplicationController

def start

end

def lunch

if Time.now == 12

render(:action => :lunch)

end

end

def home

end

end

If you run this program and the hour is 12, it will show the lunch view. You can also modify the code so that if it is in hour 5, it will show home, and hour 9 it will show the start view.

Well that's all the time we have for this article. In our next episode we will discuss how to build a simple application and how to link to actions.
