== 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

== 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
|
-
|
37
|
-
3. Go to http://localhost:3000/ and you'll see:
|
38
|
-
"Welcome aboard: You're riding Ruby on Rails!"
|
39
|
-
|
40
|
-
4. Follow the guidelines to start developing your application. You can find
|
41
|
-
the following resources handy:
|

|
-
|

== Debugging Rails

|
-
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
|

== 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.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
|
-
|

|
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.

-
app/views
|
212
|
-
Holds the template files for the view that should be named like

eRuby syntax by default.
|
215
|
-
|
216
|
-
app/views/layouts
|
217
|
-
Holds the template files for layouts to be used with views. This models the
|
218
|
-
common header/footer method of wrapping views. In your views, define a layout
|
219
|
-
using the <tt>layout :default</tt> and create a file named default.html.erb.
|
220
|
-
Inside default.html.erb, call <% yield %> to render the view using this
|
221
|

== 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
|
+
|
37
|
+
3. Go to http://localhost:3000/ and you'll see:
|
38
|
+
"Welcome aboard: You're riding Ruby on Rails!"
|
39
|
+
|
40
|
+
4. Follow the guidelines to start developing your application. You can find
|
41
|
+
the following resources handy:
|
42
|
+
|

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
|

|
61
|

|
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/

|
+
* Learn to Program: http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/ (a beginners guide)
|

|
+
|
80
|

These two books will bring you up to speed on the Ruby language and also on

debugger
|
96

>> @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

|
114
|
+
>> f.
|
115
|
+
Display all 152 possibilities? (y or n)
|
116
|
+
|
117
|
+
Finally, when you're ready to resume execution, you can enter "cont".

== 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.

|
201
|
+
|
202
|
+
app/controllers
|
203
|
+
Holds controllers that should be named like weblogs_controller.rb for
|
204
|
+
automated URL mapping. All controllers should descend from
|
205
|
+
ApplicationController which itself descends from ActionController::Base.
|
206
|
+
|
207
|
+
app/models
|
208
|
+
Holds models that should be named like post.rb. Models descend from
|

|
+
app/views
|
212
|
+
Holds the template files for the view that should be named like
|
213
|
+
weblogs/index.html.erb for the WeblogsController#index action. All views use

eRuby syntax by default.
|
215
|
+
|
216
|
+
app/views/layouts
|
217
|
+
Holds the template files for layouts to be used with views. This models the
|
218
|
+
common header/footer method of wrapping views. In your views, define a layout
|
219
|
+
using the <tt>layout :default</tt> and create a file named default.html.erb.
|
220
|
+
Inside default.html.erb, call <% yield %> to render the view using this
|
221
|
+
layout.
|
222
|
+
|
223
|
+
app/helpers
|
224
|
+
Holds view helpers that should be named like weblogs_helper.rb. These are
|
225
|
+
generated for you automatically when using generators for controllers.
|
226
|
+
Helpers can be used to wrap functionality for your views into methods.
|
227

+
|
228
|
+

+
lib
|
241
|
+
Application specific libraries. Basically, any kind of custom code that
|
242
|
+
doesn't belong under controllers, models, or helpers. This directory is in
|
243
|
+
the load path.
|
244
|
+
|
245
|
+
