8,781 PointsHow to call the "erb" method within the route block? I have brain fog atm.
Challenge task 3 of 4!
require "sinatra"
# Loads the signature at the given line index.
def load_signature(index)
lines = File.readlines("signatures.txt")
# Parameter is a string; convert to integer
index = index.to_i
lines[index]
end
get "/:index/edit" do
@index = params[:index]
@signature = load_signature(@index)
end
<p>Please enter your name below.</p>
<form>
<input type="text" name="signature" value="<%= %>">
<input type="submit">
</form>

I think the syntax you are looking for is this:
get "/:index/edit" do
# YOUR CODE HERE
@index = params['index']
@signature = load_signature(@index)
erb :edit
end
