Error: Template is missing

After 

def create 
   render text: params.to_json
end

it gives the error:

Missing template pages/create, application/create with {:locale=>[:en], :formats=>[:html], :variants=>[], :handlers=>[:raw, :erb, :html, :builder, :ruby, :coffee, :jbuilder]}. Searched in: * "/Users/username/Sites/ruby/blog/app/views"

It looks like this is an error saying that I don't have the create.html.erb view, right?

However, it still shows me the json under

Request

{"utf8"=>"✓",
 "authenticity_token"=>"dF6N6op8uGNwBcqlUtDYoxUtZwlEE86XRf0Vt4zdmzozK4nb3ctTouC4QSKhs5zgJnSXMBYIXJYvKTbrRt/Q9g==",
 "page"=>{"title"=>"My bio", "body"=>"Teacher", "slug"=>"bio"},
 "commit"=>"Create Page"}

Why do I get this error?

Thanks!

We recommend installing Rails 5.0 to use with this course. With Rails 5.1 and later, render text: no longer works, but if you change it to render plain:, that should work correctly.
