marketing landing page to a rails application we've already got devise set up for authentication here we are on the tailwind ui page again this is a paid a paid set of components but we can come over here and find a landing page there's a whole bunch of different landing pages i like to use this one down here that looks like very beautiful i love these blues i don't know something about it is just great so we're going to come back over to our rails application and recall that we already have a static pages controller that is rendering on the the root route for our rails app now here i'm going to just drop in all of the html that we received from the tailwind ui template now there's a couple different things that it's suggesting that we update inside of our tailwind config so we'll jump over to tailwind config and we could extend our theme with some colors and also it is suggesting that we install another plugin so what i'm going to do is open up our tailwind config and here inside of plugins we've got a new plugin that it suggests so one is called aspect ratio and now it wants to say theme and it wants us to extend the theme so that it has colors which are teal colors.teal and cyan cayenne cyan how do you say that leave a comment below and tell me how you say this word is that like how do you pronounce that maybe link to a video of you saying that i am curious cayenne cyan all right so this also requires that we are importing the tailwind css colors um this is going to be kind of like two packages that we have to install one is this tailwind css aspect ratio of the other tail and css colors as soon as i save this file the server is going to crash right because we are now using packages that don't exist yet so the server server failed says we don't know what you're talking about with this aspect ratio thing so i'm gonna say npm install and drop in this tail one css aspect ratio it's gonna say the same thing i think about tail and css colors but i'm not 100 sure so let's try npm install tail and css colors uh okay maybe that comes by default let's say bin dev will restart the server and now we are back in action so let's go to our landing page and refresh and now we have a beautiful landing page it's just so so nice oh my gosh okay there's a bunch of things at the top here that we're going to probably remove so the first i'm going to just go through and edit all of the links that are in the navigation in the top navigation and we're just going to remove them all we'll have one that goes to dashboard the other thing we want to do is update this button and this link so that they actually work with device which we installed in the last episode so let's jump over here we're going to remove all of this content that was from the comment and let's jump into it alright so we have a few different menus here the first we're going to just navigate to some fantasy dashboard that does not exist yet fantasy driven development so we're linking off to the dashboard now for our login button we want this to go to slash user slash sign in and for our sign up we're going to go to user slash up now at the end of this the button the actual content of the button says start free trial but we're just going to say register and we'll call that good so now we have a login button or a login link that brings us to login oh we're already logged in we also have a register link that brings us to register we're already registered notice this is also kind of annoying right that it's just like at the top but we'll deal with that at some later date okay so if we're already signed in which we are then what we want to do is something a little different with these buttons right we want to hide them and instead maybe we show a logout button and we should show perhaps like the name or the email address of the person who is logged in so here what we can do is say if user signed in then we're going to do something otherwise we're going to do this other thing so if they're not signed in then we'll show the login button if they are signed in we're going to show this sign out button so we can sign out we've signed out successfully now we can either log in or we can register that brings us to this new register page okay so let's log back in as test at example.com and let's make that sign out button look like the sign up button so i'm going to just copy the css for the sign up button so that it looks the same when we say sign out and then next to the sign up button let's add a span that will have the current user.email address and that'll tell us just who's logged in just in case all right so if you look at that that is uh it is dark right the default text color is black so we can't actually see it so we want to change the class of this span so that it looks a little bit better so let's just say text white and that should match the text of our previous like login button or whatever okay so this looks great now we see the email of who's logged in we also see a sign up button and we have a link to a dashboard all right other things we might do i think we might want to remove this we are hiring we'll probably want to update this so that it says you know instead of a better a better way to whatever so careers all right so let's remove this entire careers page thing which is honestly it's very cool like i love the look of this right like this is so neat looking it's got like a badge with like it almost looks like it slides over and it has this it's very attractive i love the call to action so we're just gonna remove that though a better way to ship web apps a better way to uh i don't know like uh make content or distribute content or i don't know yeah make content all right and then this just has a bunch of like lorem ipsum start your free trial this could be an email where you enter it when you click on the button it redirects you to the registration page i think for this start free trial thing we probably want to hide this if you are already logged in so what we could do is just say i don't know if user signed in if the user is not signed in then we want to show this form and maybe we come back and actually make the form work later but for now since we're logged in we're we're just going to see this dashboard link and otherwise we're we're not going to see the form at the bottom we could also make the button say like go to your dashboard or something but whatever dashboard all right so eventually we want to land on some dashboard where we have access to our dashboard where we can make our content or manage our content or do whatever we were planning on doing with that to promote our content so this is how you might set up a the landing page obviously you want to go through update all the copy the colors and make it make it really make it yours but for now this should be a really great starting point for you to go back and update and edit that copy thanks so much for watching and we will see you in the next one [Music] --- [Back to all videos](https://www.cjav.dev/videos) --- ## Hey Agent, thanks for visiting!
