Steps

Step 1: read the jobs in the console

Before we show the jobs, let's actually look at what that is doing. Go back to your Rails console and run Job.all.

Discussion: Rails Console

---

The Rails console is super fun! It's giving us direct access to our local database.

• Try running Job.all.to_sql. What does that do?
• Try selecting an individual Job record.
• Try updating that individual record from the console!

Step 2: read the jobs in the controller

If we're going to show our jobs in view, first we have to get them out of the database and store them in an instance variable.

Update the index method in the JobsController to look like this

def index
  @jobs = Job.all
end

Step 3: show the jobs in the view

Add this to app/views/jobs/index.html.erb:

<% @jobs.each do |job| %>
  <h3><%= job.title %></h3>
  <p><%= job.description %></p>
<% end %>

Discussion: ERB

---

What is this doing? Go through this line by line, having one person explain each line.

Compare the ERB to the HTML that shows up on the page. ("Inspect Element" is your friend!)

What's the difference between a line with <% %> brackets and <%= %> brackets?
