Local Testing
Start Server
You can test locally with rails server.
Example:
❯ rails server
=> Booting Puma
=> Rails 7.1.3.2 application starting in development
* Listening on http://127.0.0.1:3000
Use Ctrl-C to stop
A web server allows you to test locally just like a normal rack app.
Testing Index Listing
Test by opening localhost:3000/posts in a browser:
On the rails server side, you’ll see the request:

Processing PostsController#index
Completed Status Code 200 in 0.015s
Started GET "/posts" for 127.0.0.1 at 2023-10-28 14:09:36 +0000
Note: The output is filtered for clarity.
