Contact page creation

[bradford li]

I am new to ruby on rails and I am trying to create a small website as practice. Right now I am in the process of creating a Contact page. Basically this page will be a form to allow visitors send an email to only me. This form will have name, message, subject and other information a typical contact me page will have. I am new and I'm not sure where to start. Could someone guide me through this process? I am open to gems but I am also curious on how to perform this action without gems so I can learn more about the rails framework. Thanks!

Create a model Contact:

rails g model contact name:string subject:string message:text

Create a controller contacts

rails g controller contacts

add routes

routes :contacts

Create a view page
 

new.html.erb
--------------------

<%= form_for @contact %>

   -----your code ----

<% end %>

controller :
------------------
def new

  @contact = Contact.new

end

def create

  @contact.save

 #write here action mailer method

end

Start by working right through a good tutorial such as
railstutorial.org (which is free to use online). That will show you
the basics of Rails.

You should create virtual model in case of contact page as you are not
going to store contact information in database.
