Event controller not saving to the database - ruby-on-rails

Question

Hi I'm a student in ruby rails. I am trying to create something to save to my database. I can't get it to work.
Here is my form page:
<h1>Create your Event</h1>
<%= form_for #event do |f| %>
<div>
<%= f.label :name %>:
<%= f.text_field :name %><br />
</div>
<div>
<%= f.label :description %>:
<%= f.text_field :description %><br />
</div>
<div>
<%= f.label :location %>:
<%= f.text_field :location %><br />
</div>
<div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :date%>
<%= f.date_select :date,
{ order: [:month, :day, :year],
prompt: [ day: 'Select day', month: 'Select month', year: 'Select year' ]} %>
</div>
<br>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
Here is my controller:
class EventsController < ApplicationController
def index
#events = Event.all
end
def show
#event = Event.find(params[:id])
end
def new
#event = Event.new
end
def create
#event = Event.new(event_params)
if #event.save
redirect_to event_index
else
render 'new'
flash[:notice] = "Event not saved"
end
When I click the create event button it doesn't do anything.
my schema
create_table "events", force: :cascade do |t|
t.string "name"
t.string "description"
t.date "date"
t.string "location"
t.datetime "created_at", null: false
t.datetime "updated_at", null: false
end
in the rails console I can see this:
irb(main):001:0> Event.all
Event Load (4.9ms) SELECT "events".* FROM "events"
=> #
irb(main):002:0>

A couple things:
Use #event.save!. If the record cannot be created, the ! will raise a helpful error.
And it doesn't look like you have your event_params defined in your controller.
Also, what does your Event model look like? Any validations?
