# Rails Dynamic Request Lab

## Objectives

* Draw a route with a dynamic variable
* Use a routes variable in params within the logic of an action
* Assign an instance variable in a controller action
* Use a controller instance variable to generate a dynamic ERB template.
* Build a classical show action/view

## Instructions

There are three RSpec/Capybara specs in this lesson; you can find them in `spec/features/student_spec.rb`. Make sure they pass without breaking the other tests. To complete this section, all specs should pass.

In this lab, you will work through the full MVC pattern by building a student management app for The Flatiron School. At a high level, you will integrate the following scenario in your application:

1. The user is able to go to `/students/2` to receive information on the student with an id of `2`
2. The application should render the values from the `student` record in the database

## Keys to remember

* Make sure that you use a route variable for the `show` request path
* If you google around and discover generators/scaffolds, **don't use them** for this lab
