I am new to Ruby on rails and i was trying to figure out where my code is failing. I created an Articles table so when i go to articles/new where if have the view to create article after i click on submit button it doesnot go to /articles but in terminal, it shows that a post request was made.
I have created a table articles and Model Article along with article_controller class also in the routes i have added resources :articles
But when i visit to articles/new and create a new article using the form i can see the create fn in the controller is called due to the POST request on article_path (/articles/) (because i tried to save the article into db and it did got saved) but when i try to display the article details using render plain: @articles.inspect nothing happens and it remains on /articles/new even after hitting the submit button (even if the create fn in empty it stays on that page). Please Help!
Controller
class ArticlesController < ApplicationController
def show
@article = Article.find(params[:id])
end
def index
@articles = Article.all()
end
def new
end
def create
render plain: @article.inspect
end
end
Model
class Article < ApplicationRecord
validates :title, presence: true, length: {minimum: 3, maximum: 50}
validates :description, presence: true, length: {minimum: 10, maximum: 100}
end
New Form
<h1>Create an Article <h1>
<%= form_with scope: :article, url: articles_path, method: :post, local: true do |f| %>
<p>
<%= f.label :title %><br/>
<%= f.text_field :title %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :description %><br/>
<%= f.text_area :description %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.submit %>
</p>
<% end %>
Index Page

<table>
<thead>
<tr>

<tbody>
