How would you do an index.html page to show all the registered users??

I cannot remember this project very well but in the index action (or method) of your controller you would assign an instance variable like

  def index
    @users = User.all
  end

Next, in your template (index.html.erb), you can access the @users instance variable and loop through the collection returned by ActiveRecord

<ul>
  <% @users.each do |user| %>
    <li><%= user.email %></li>
  <% end %>
</ul>
