<a href="../api.html#class-Camping">Camping</a> is a small web framework,
|
28
|
-
less than 4k, a little white blood cell in the vein of Rails. This little
|
29
|
-
book will start with a tutorial which takes about fifteen minutes - by the
|
30
|
-
end you should have a little <a
|
31
|
-
href="../api.html#class-Camping">Camping</a> site up. The following
|
32
|
-
chapters will eventually go deeper into how both <a

(“Eventually”, because these chapters are not written yet. This

37

book is currently a very much work in progress, and we’ll be very

grateful if you want to help out.)

<h1>Getting Started</h1>
|
26
|
-
<p>
|
27
|
-
Start a new text file called nuts.rb. Here’s what you put inside:
|
28
|
-
</p>
|
29
|
-
<pre>
|
30
|
-
Camping.goes :Nuts
|
31
|
-
</pre>
|
32
|
-
<p>
|
33
|
-
Save it. Then, open a command prompt in the same directory. You’ll
|
34
|
-
want to run:
|
35
|
-
</p>
|
36
|
-
<pre>
|
37
|
-
$ camping nuts.rb
|
38
|
-
</pre>
|
39
|
-
<p>
|
40
|
-
And you should get a message which reads:
|
41
|
-
</p>
|
42
|
-
<pre>
|
43
|
-
** Camping running on 0.0.0.0:3301.
|
44
|
-
</pre>
|
45
|
-
<p>
|
46
|
-
This means that right now The <a
|
47
|
-
href="../api.html#class-Camping">Camping</a> Server is running on port 3301
|
48
|
-
on your machine. Open your browser and visit <a
|
49
|
-
href="http://localhost:3301/.">localhost:3301/.</a>
|
50
|
-
</p>
|
51
|
-
<p>
|
52
|
-
Your browser window should show:
|
53
|
-
</p>
|
54
|
-
<pre>
|
55
|
-
Camping Problem!
|
56
|
-
|
57
|
-
/ Not found
|
58
|
-
</pre>
|
59
|
-
<p>
|
60
|
-
No problem with that. The <a href="../api.html#class-Camping">Camping</a>
|
61
|
-
Server is running, but it doesn’t know what to show. Let’s tell
|
62
|
-
him.
|
63
|
-
</p>
|
64
|
-
<h2 class="ruled" id="hello-clock">Hello clock</h2>
|
65
|
-
<p>
|
66
|
-
So, you’ve got <a href="../api.html#class-Camping">Camping</a>
|
67
|
-
installed and it’s running. Keep it running. You can edit files and
|
68
|
-
The <a href="../api.html#class-Camping">Camping</a> Server will reload
|
69
|
-
automatically. When you need to stop the server, press Control-C.
|
70
|
-
</p>
|
71
|
-
<p>
|
72
|
-
Let’s show something. At the bottom of nuts.rb add:
|
73
|
-
</p>

-
<pre>
|
75
|

|
-
end
|
82
|
-
</pre>
|
83
|
-
<p>
|
84
|
-
Save the file and refresh the browser window. Your browser window should
|
85
|

show the time, e.g.

The <a href="../api.html#class-Camping">Camping</a> microframework allows
|
93
|
-
us to separate our code using the MVC (Model-View-Controller) design
|
94
|
-
pattern. Let’s add a view to our Nuts application. Replace the

95

-
<tt>module Nuts::Controllers</tt> with:

end

120
|
-
end
|
121
|
-
</pre>
|
122
|
-
<p>
|
123
|
-
Save the file and refresh your browser window and it should show a message
|
124
|
-
like:
|
125
|
-
</p>
|
126
|
-
<pre>
|
127
|
-
The current time is: Sun Jul 15 13:05:41 +0200 2007
|
128
|
-
</pre>
|
129
|
-
<p>
|
130
|
-
And the window title reads “Nuts And GORP”.
|
131
|
-
</p>
|
132
|
-
<p>
|
133
|
-
Here you can see we call <tt>render :sundial</tt> from our controller. This
|
134
|
-
does exactly what it says, and renders our <tt>sundial</tt> method.
|
135
|
-
We’ve also added a special method called <tt>layout</tt> which <a
|
136
|
-
href="../api.html#class-Camping">Camping</a> will automatically wrap our
|
137
|
-
sundial output in. If you’re familiar with HTML, you’ll see
|
138
|
-
that our view contains what looks HTML tag names. This is Markaby, which is
|
139
|
-
like writing HTML using Ruby!
|
140
|
-
</p>
|
141
|
-
<p>
|
142
|
-
Soon enough, you’ll find that you can return anything from the
|
143
|
-
controller, and it will be sent to the browser. But let’s keep that
|
144
|
-
for later and start investigating the routes.
|
145
|
-
</p>
|
146
|
-
<h2 class="ruled" id="routes">Routes</h2>
|
147
|
-
<p>
|
148
|
-
You probably noticed the weird <tt>R '/'</tt> syntax in the previous page.
|
149
|
-
This is an uncommon feature of Ruby that is used in our favorite
|
150
|
-
microframework, to describe the routes which the controller can be accessed
|
151
|
-
on.
|
152
|
-
</p>
|
153
|
-
<p>
|
154
|
-
These routes can be very powerful, but we’re going to have look at
|
155
|
-
the simplest ones first.

You can get pretty far with what you’ve learned now, and hopefully
|
236
|
-
you’ve been playing a bit off-book, but it’s time to take the
|
237
|

next step: Storing data.
|
238

</p>
|
239

<p>

Let’s start over again.

Obviously, this won’t do anything, since we don’t have any

252
|

controllers, but let’s rather have a look at we <em>do</em> have.
|
253
|
-
</p>
|
254
|
-
<p>
|
255
|
-
We have a model named Page. This means we now can store wiki pages and
|
256
|
-
retrieve them later. In fact, we can have as many models as we want. Need
|
257
|
-
one for your users and one for your blog posts? Well, I think you already
|
258
|
-
know how to do it.
|
259
|
-
</p>
|
260
|
-
<p>
|
261
|
-
However, our model is missing something essential: a skeleton.
|
262
|

Now we have our first version of our model. It says:
|
288
|
-
</p>
|
289
|
-
<pre>
|
290
|
-
If you want to migrate up to version one,
|
291
|
-
create the skeleton for the Page model,
|
292
|
-
which should be able to store,
|
293
|
-
"title" which is a string,
|
294
|
-
"content" which is a larger text,
|
295
|
-
"created_at" which is the time it was created,
|
296
|
-
"updated_at" which is the previous time it was updated.
|
297
|
-
|
298
|
-
If you want to migrate down from version one,
|
299
|
-
remove the skeleton for the Page model.
|
300
|
-
</pre>
|
301
|
-
<p>
|
302
|
-
This is called a <em>migration</em>. Whenever you want to change or add new
|
303
|
-
models you simply add a new migration below, where you increase the version
|
304
|
-
number. All of these migrations builds upon each other like LEGO blocks.
|
305
|
-
</p>
|
306
|
-
<p>
|
307
|
-
Now we just need to tell <a href="../api.html#class-Camping">Camping</a> to
|
308
|
-
use our migration. Write this at the bottom of nuts.rb
|
309
|

315

-
<p>
|
316
|
-
When The <a href="../api.html#class-Camping">Camping</a> Server boots up,
|
317
|
-
it will automatically call <tt>Nuts.create</tt>. You can put all kind of
|
318
|
-
startup-code here, but right now we only want to create our skeleton (or
|
319
|
-
upgrade if needed). Start The <a
|
320
|
-

Restart it, and enjoy the silence. There’s no point of re-creating

the skeleton this time.

models before your migrations.

<h2 class="ruled" id="using-our-model">Using our model</h2>

Let’s explore how our model works by going into the <em>console</em>
|
343
|
-
</p>
|
344
|
-
<pre>
|
345

Now it’s waiting for your input, and will give you the answer when
|
351
|
-
you press Enter. Here’s what I did, leaving out the boring answers.
|
352
|
-
You should add your own pages.
|
353
|
-
</p>
|
354
|
-
<pre>
|
355
|
-
>> Page = Nuts::Models::Page
|
356
|
-
|
357
|
-
>> hiking = Page.new(:title => "Hiking")
|
358
|
-
>> hiking.content = "You can also set the values like this."
|
359
|
-
>> hiking.save
|
360
|
-
|
361
|
-
>> page = Page.find_by_title("Hiking")
|
362
|
-
=> #<Nuts::Models::Page id: 1, ... >
|
363
|
-
>> page = Page.find(1)
|
364
|
-
=> #<Nuts::Models::Page id: 1, ... >
|
365
|
-
>> page.title
|
366
|
-
>> page.content
|
367
|
-
>> page.created_at
|
368
|
-
>> page.updated_at
|
369
|
-
|
370
|
-
>> Page.find_by_title("Fishing")
|
371
|
-
=> nil
|
372
|
-
|
373
|
-
## Page.create automatically saves the page for you.
|
374
|
-
>> Page.create(:title => "Fishing", :content => "Go fish!")
|
375
|
-
|
376
|
-
>> Page.count
|
377

-
=> 2
|
378
|
-
</pre>
|
379
|
-
<p>
|
380
|

Now I have two pages: One about hiking and one about fishing.

This is the <em>reversed router</em> and it generates a URL based on a

431
|
-
controller. <a href="../api.html#class-Camping">Camping</a> ships with a
|
432
|
-
few, but very useful, helpers and you can easily add your owns. Have a look

433

at <a href="../api.html#class-Camping-Helpers">Camping::Helpers</a> for how

434

you use these.

|
439

<ul>

440

<li>Show when the page was created and last updated.

|
443

|
444
|
-

446

<li>What should the front page show?

<li>Add a layout.

<p>
|
493
|

The core of this code lies in the new <tt>post</tt> method in the PageX
|
494
|
-
controller. When someone types an address or follows a link, they’ll
|
495
|
-
end up at the <tt>get</tt> method, but you can easily create a form which
|
496
|
-
rather sends you to the <tt>post</tt> when submitted.
|
497
|
-
</p>
|
498
|
-
<p>
|
499
|
-
There are other names you can use, but they won’t always work. So for
|
500
|
-
now, don’t be fancy and just stick to <tt>get</tt> and <tt>post</tt>.
|
501
|
-
We’ll show you how this really works later.
|
502
|
-
</p>
|
503
|
-
<p>
|
504
|
-
You might also notice that we use <tt>@input.content</tt>. The
|
505
|
-
<tt>@input</tt>-hash contains any extra parameters sent, like those in the
|
506
|
-
forms and those in the URL (<tt>/posts?page=50</tt>).
|
507
|
-
</p>
|
508
|
-
<p>
|
509
|
-
Here’s an <tt>edit</tt>-view, but you can probably do better. See if
|
510
|
-
you can integrate all of this with what you already have.

You’ve taken quite a few steps in the last minutes. You deserve a
|
530
|
-
break. But let’s recap for a moment:
|
531

</p>
|
532
|
-
<ul>
|
533
|
-
<li>Always place <tt><a href="../api.html#M000028">Camping.goes</a> :App</tt>
|
534
|
-
at the top of your file.
|
535
|
-
|
536
|
-
</li>
|
537
|
-
<li>Every route ends at a controller, but …
|
538
|
-
|
539
|
-
</li>
|
540
|
-
<li>… the controller only delegates the work.
|
541
|
-
|
542
|
-
</li>
|
543
|
-
<li><tt>@input</tt> contains the extra parameters.
|
544
|
-
|
545
|
-
</li>
|
546
|
-
<li>The views are HTML disguised as Ruby.
|
547
|
-
|
548
|
-
</li>
|
549
|
-
<li>They can access the instances variables (those that starts with a single
|
550
|
-
at-sign) from the controller.
|
551
|
-
|
552
|
-
</li>
|
553
|
-
<li>The models allows you to store all kinds of data.
|
554
|
-
|
555
|
-
</li>
|
556
|
-
<li>Place your models before your migrations.
|
557
|
-
|
558
|
-
</li>
|
559
|
-
<li>Helpers are helpful.
|

Unfortunately, the book stops here for now. Come back in a few months, or
|
565
|
-
join the mailing list to stay updated, and hopefully there’s another
|
566
|
-
chapter waiting for you.
