​​Process overview

​​​⚠️​ This is how HTTP requests work without any interaction with the model.
​​[request] ​➡️​ routes.rb ​➡️​ [controller] + [action] ​➡️​ view ​➡️​ browser
​​
  1. ​​A browser sends an HTTP [request] (e.g. /about)
  1. ​​The Rails server receives the request
  1. ​​routes.rb tells Rails which [controller] + [action] to send the request to (e.g. about#index)
  1. ​​The [controller] receives the request and runs code in the method that matches the [action] from routes.rb
  1. ​​Rails generates a view (e.g. index.html.erb)
  1. ​​Rails sends the view back to the browser
  1. ​​The browser renders the view
