+ # Active Reload
2
+ ## The only Rails boost tool that doesn't try to be too smart.

+

+ <a href='http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/15547'><img alt='Donate Active Reload at www.pledgie.com' src='http://pledgie.com/campaigns/15547.png?skin_name=chrome' border='0' /></a>
5
+
6
+ Active Reload is a gem that changes a little when Rails code reloading is executed.
7
+ Normally Rails "forgets" your code after every request in development mode and loads again necessary
8
+ files during the request. If your application is big this can take lot of time especially on "dashboard" page
9
+ that uses lot of different classes.
10
+
11
+ However this constant reloading is not always necessary. This gem changes it so it occurs
12
+ before request and only when file was changed or added. It won't make reloading your app
13
+ faster but it will skip reloading when nothing changed and that saved second can really sum
14
+ up to a big value. It means that after change first request in development mode will reload the code
15
+ and take as much time as it takes without this gem but subsequent request will be faster until next
16
+ changes due to lack of code reloading.

32
+
33
+ ## Installation
34
+
35
+ Simply add Active Reload to your Gemfile and bundle it up:
36
+
37
+ ```ruby
38
+ gem 'active_reload'
39
+ ```
40
+
41
+ ## Compatibility
42
+
43
+ It was hand tested only with Rails 3.0.9 but should work without any problem on any `3.0.*` and `3.1.*` Rails version. I'm in the middle of writing automatic tests for it.
44
+
45
+ It should work with any ruby compatible with `1.9.2` (ex. JRuby). Expect `1.8.7` support soon.
46
+
47
+ ## Notifications
48
+
49
+ You can subscribe to two notifications provided by this gem.
50
+
51
+ `active_reload.set_clear_dependencies_hook_replaced` event is triggered when the gem changes original rails hook for code reloading.
52
+
53
+ ```ruby
54
+ ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribe("active_reload.set_clear_dependencies_hook_replaced") do |*args|
55
+ event = ActiveSupport::Notifications::Event.new(*args)
56
+ msg = event.name
57
+ # Ubuntu: https://github.com/splattael/libnotify, Example: Libnotify.show(:body => msg, :summary => Rails.application.class.name, :timeout => 2.5, :append => true)
58
+ # Macos: http://segment7.net/projects/ruby/growl/
59
+ puts Rails.logger.warn(" --- #{msg} --- ")
60
+ end
61
+ ```
62
+
63
+ `active_support.dependencies.clear` event is triggered when code reloading is triggered by this gem.
64
+
65
+ ```ruby
66
+ ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribe("active_support.dependencies.clear") do |*args|
67
+ msg = "Code reloaded!"
68
+ # Ubuntu: https://github.com/splattael/libnotify, Example: Libnotify.show(:body => msg, :summary => Rails.application.class.name, :timeout => 2.5, :append => true)
69
+ # Macos: http://segment7.net/projects/ruby/growl/
70
+ puts Rails.logger.info(" --- #{msg} --- ")
71
+ end

+ ```

1
+ == Welcome to Rails
2
+
3
+ Rails is a web-application framework that includes everything needed to create
4
+ database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern.
5
+
6
+ This pattern splits the view (also called the presentation) into "dumb"
7
+ templates that are primarily responsible for inserting pre-built data in between
8
+ HTML tags. The model contains the "smart" domain objects (such as Account,
9
+ Product, Person, Post) that holds all the business logic and knows how to
10
+ persist themselves to a database. The controller handles the incoming requests
11
+ (such as Save New Account, Update Product, Show Post) by manipulating the model
12
+ and directing data to the view.
13
+
14
+ In Rails, the model is handled by what's called an object-relational mapping
15
+ layer entitled Active Record. This layer allows you to present the data from
16
+ database rows as objects and embellish these data objects with business logic
17
+ methods. You can read more about Active Record in
18
+ link:files/vendor/rails/activerecord/README.html.
19
+
20
+ The controller and view are handled by the Action Pack, which handles both
21
+ layers by its two parts: Action View and Action Controller. These two layers
22
+ are bundled in a single package due to their heavy interdependence. This is
23
+ unlike the relationship between the Active Record and Action Pack that is much
24
+ more separate. Each of these packages can be used independently outside of
25
+ Rails. You can read more about Action Pack in
26
+ link:files/vendor/rails/actionpack/README.html.
27
+
28
+
29
+ == Getting Started
30
+
31
+ 1. At the command prompt, create a new Rails application:
32
+ <tt>rails new myapp</tt> (where <tt>myapp</tt> is the application name)
33
+
34
+ 2. Change directory to <tt>myapp</tt> and start the web server:
35
+ <tt>cd myapp; rails server</tt> (run with --help for options)
36

47
+ == Debugging Rails
48
+
49
+ Sometimes your application goes wrong. Fortunately there are a lot of tools that
50
+ will help you debug it and get it back on the rails.
51
+
52
+ First area to check is the application log files. Have "tail -f" commands
53
+ running on the server.log and development.log. Rails will automatically display
54
+ debugging and runtime information to these files. Debugging info will also be
55
+ shown in the browser on requests from 127.0.0.1.
56
+
57
+ You can also log your own messages directly into the log file from your code
58
+ using the Ruby logger class from inside your controllers. Example:
59
+
60
+ class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
61
+ def destroy
62
+ @weblog = Weblog.find(params[:id])
63
+ @weblog.destroy
64
+ logger.info("#{Time.now} Destroyed Weblog ID ##{@weblog.id}!")
65
+ end
66
+ end
67
+
68
+ The result will be a message in your log file along the lines of:
69
+
70
+ Mon Oct 08 14:22:29 +1000 2007 Destroyed Weblog ID #1!
71
+
72
+ More information on how to use the logger is at http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/
73
+
74
+ Also, Ruby documentation can be found at http://www.ruby-lang.org/. There are
75
+ several books available online as well:
76
+
77
+ * Programming Ruby: http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/ (Pickaxe)
78
+ * Learn to Program: http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/ (a beginners guide)
79
+
80
+ These two books will bring you up to speed on the Ruby language and also on
81
+ programming in general.
82
+
83
+
84
+ == Debugger
85
+
86
+ Debugger support is available through the debugger command when you start your
87
+ Mongrel or WEBrick server with --debugger. This means that you can break out of
88
+ execution at any point in the code, investigate and change the model, and then,
89
+ resume execution! You need to install ruby-debug to run the server in debugging
90
+ mode. With gems, use <tt>sudo gem install ruby-debug</tt>. Example:
91
+
92
+ class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
93
+ def index
94
+ @posts = Post.find(:all)
95
+ debugger
96
+ end
97
+ end
98
+
99
+ So the controller will accept the action, run the first line, then present you
100
+ with a IRB prompt in the server window. Here you can do things like:
101
+
102
+ >> @posts.inspect
103
+ => "[#<Post:0x14a6be8
104
+ @attributes={"title"=>nil, "body"=>nil, "id"=>"1"}>,
105
+ #<Post:0x14a6620
106
+ @attributes={"title"=>"Rails", "body"=>"Only ten..", "id"=>"2"}>]"
107
+ >> @posts.first.title = "hello from a debugger"
108
+ => "hello from a debugger"
109
+
110
+ ...and even better, you can examine how your runtime objects actually work:
111
+
112
+ >> f = @posts.first
113
+ => #<Post:0x13630c4 @attributes={"title"=>nil, "body"=>nil, "id"=>"1"}>
114
+ >> f.
115
+ Display all 152 possibilities? (y or n)
116
+
117
+ Finally, when you're ready to resume execution, you can enter "cont".
118
+
119
+
120
+ == Console
121
+
122
+ The console is a Ruby shell, which allows you to interact with your
123
+ application's domain model. Here you'll have all parts of the application
124
+ configured, just like it is when the application is running. You can inspect
125
+ domain models, change values, and save to the database. Starting the script
126
+ without arguments will launch it in the development environment.
127
+
128
+ To start the console, run <tt>rails console</tt> from the application
129
+ directory.
130
+
131
+ Options:
132
+
133
+ * Passing the <tt>-s, --sandbox</tt> argument will rollback any modifications
134
+ made to the database.
135
+ * Passing an environment name as an argument will load the corresponding
136
+ environment. Example: <tt>rails console production</tt>.
137
+
138
+ To reload your controllers and models after launching the console run
139
+ <tt>reload!</tt>
140
+

+ More information about irb can be found at:
142
+ link:http://www.rubycentral.com/pickaxe/irb.html
143
+
144
+
145
+ == dbconsole
146
+
147
+ You can go to the command line of your database directly through <tt>rails
148
+ dbconsole</tt>. You would be connected to the database with the credentials
149
+ defined in database.yml. Starting the script without arguments will connect you
150
+ to the development database. Passing an argument will connect you to a different
151
+ database, like <tt>rails dbconsole production</tt>. Currently works for MySQL,
152
+ PostgreSQL and SQLite 3.

192
+
193
+ app
194
+ Holds all the code that's specific to this particular application.
195
+
196
+ app/controllers
197
+ Holds controllers that should be named like weblogs_controller.rb for
198
+ automated URL mapping. All controllers should descend from
199
+ ApplicationController which itself descends from ActionController::Base.
200
+
201
+ app/models
202
+ Holds models that should be named like post.rb. Models descend from
203
+ ActiveRecord::Base by default.
204
+
205
+ app/views
206
+ Holds the template files for the view that should be named like
207
+ weblogs/index.html.erb for the WeblogsController#index action. All views use
208
+ eRuby syntax by default.
209
+
210
+ app/views/layouts
211
+ Holds the template files for layouts to be used with views. This models the
212
+ common header/footer method of wrapping views. In your views, define a layout
213
+ using the <tt>layout :default</tt> and create a file named default.html.erb.
214
+ Inside default.html.erb, call <% yield %> to render the view using this
215
+ layout.
216
+
217
+ app/helpers
218
+ Holds view helpers that should be named like weblogs_helper.rb. These are
219
+ generated for you automatically when using generators for controllers.
220
+ Helpers can be used to wrap functionality for your views into methods.
221
+
222
+ config
223
+ Configuration files for the Rails environment, the routing map, the database,
224
+ and other dependencies.
225
+
226
+ db
227
+ Contains the database schema in schema.rb. db/migrate contains all the
228
+ sequence of Migrations for your schema.
229
+
230
+ doc
231
+ This directory is where your application documentation will be stored when
232
+ generated using <tt>rake doc:app</tt>
233
+
234
+ lib
235
+ Application specific libraries. Basically, any kind of custom code that
236
+ doesn't belong under controllers, models, or helpers. This directory is in
237
+ the load path.
238
+
239
+ public
240
+ The directory available for the web server. Contains subdirectories for
241
+ images, stylesheets, and javascripts. Also contains the dispatchers and the
242
+ default HTML files. This should be set as the DOCUMENT_ROOT of your web
243
+ server.
244
+
245
+ script
246
+ Helper scripts for automation and generation.
247
+
248
+ test
249
+ Unit and functional tests along with fixtures. When using the rails generate
250
+ command, template test files will be generated for you and placed in this
251
+ directory.
252
+
253
+ vendor
254
+ External libraries that the application depends on. Also includes the plugins
255
+ subdirectory. If the app has frozen rails, those gems also go here, under
256
+ vendor/rails/. This directory is in the load path.
