24b Requiring Authentication

SOLUTION:

Use the user_signed_in? helper. Keep in mind that there's no reason to hide other sidebar content, so place yield :sidebar outside the condition.

app/views/layouts/application.html.erb

        <nav id="sidebar">
          <% if user_signed_in? -%>
            <%= link_to 'Submit a new link', new_post_path %>
            <%= link_to 'Submit a new text post', new_post_path(post_type: :text) %>
            <%= link_to 'Create a new category', new_category_path %>
          <% end -%>
          <div><%= yield :sidebar %></div>
        </nav>

We have users now, but there's no record of which user created which posts.

LAB

Associate posts with the users who created them.

HINT: You will need to use migrations, models, and controllers.
