|
60
|
+
#
|
61
|
+
# ==== Examples
|
62
|
+
#
|
63
|
+
# module Lightrail::Generators
|
64
|
+
# class ControllerGenerator < Base
|
65
|
+
# hook_for :test_framework, :aliases => "-t"
|
66
|
+
# end
|
67
|
+
# end
|
68
|
+
#
|
69
|
+
# The example above will create a test framework option and will invoke
|
70
|
+
# a generator based on the user supplied value.
|
71
|
+
#
|
72
|
+
# For example, if the user invoke the controller generator as:
|
73
|
+
#
|
74
|
+
# rails generate controller Account --test-framework=test_unit
|
75
|
+
#
|
76
|
+
# The controller generator will then try to invoke the following generators:
|
77
|
+
#
|
78
|
+
# "rails:test_unit", "test_unit:controller", "test_unit"
|
79
|
+
#
|
80
|
+
# Notice that "rails:generators:test_unit" could be loaded as well, what
|
81
|
+
# Rails looks for is the first and last parts of the namespace. This is what
|
82
|
+
# allows any test framework to hook into Rails as long as it provides any
|
83
|
+
# of the hooks above.
|
84
|
+
#
|
85
|
+
# ==== Options
|
86
|
+
#
|
87
|
+
# The first and last part used to find the generator to be invoked are
|
88
|
+
# guessed based on class invokes hook_for, as noticed in the example above.
|
89
|
+
# This can be customized with two options: :base and :as.
|
90
|
+
#
|
91
|
+
# Let's suppose you are creating a generator that needs to invoke the
|
92
|
+
# controller generator from test unit. Your first attempt is:
|
93
|
+
#
|
94
|
+
# class AwesomeGenerator < Lightrail::Generators::Base
|
95
|
+
# hook_for :test_framework
|
96
|
+
# end
|
97
|
+
#
|
98
|
+
# The lookup in this case for test_unit as input is:
|
99
|
+
#
|
100
|
+
# "test_unit:awesome", "test_unit"
|
101
|
+
#
|
102
|
+
# Which is not the desired the lookup. You can change it by providing the
|
103
|
+
# :as option:
|
104
|
+
#
|
105
|
+
# class AwesomeGenerator < Lightrail::Generators::Base
|
106
|
+
# hook_for :test_framework, :as => :controller
|
107
|
+
# end
|
108
|
+
#
|
109
|
+
# And now it will lookup at:
|
110
|
+
#
|
111
|
+
# "test_unit:controller", "test_unit"
|
112
|
+
#
|
113
|
+
# Similarly, if you want it to also lookup in the rails namespace, you just
|
114
|
+
# need to provide the :base value:
|
115
|
+
#
|
116
|
+
# class AwesomeGenerator < Lightrail::Generators::Base
|
117
|
+
# hook_for :test_framework, :in => :rails, :as => :controller
|
118
|
+
# end
|
119
|
+
#
|
120
|
+
# And the lookup is exactly the same as previously:
|
121
|
+
#
|
122
|
+
# "rails:test_unit", "test_unit:controller", "test_unit"
|
123
|
+
#
|
124
|
+
# ==== Switches
|
125
|
+
#
|
126
|
+
# All hooks come with switches for user interface. If you do not want
|
127
|
+
# to use any test framework, you can do:
|
128
|
+
#
|
129
|
+
# rails generate controller Account --skip-test-framework
|
130
|
+
#
|
131
|
+
# Or similarly:
|
132
|
+
#
|
133
|
+
# rails generate controller Account --no-test-framework
|
134
|
+
#
|
135
|
+
# ==== Boolean hooks
|
136
|
+
#
|
137
|
+
# In some cases, you may want to provide a boolean hook. For example, webrat
|
138
|
+
# developers might want to have webrat available on controller generator.
|
139
|
+
# This can be achieved as:
|
140
|
+
#
|
141
|
+
# Lightrail::Generators::ControllerGenerator.hook_for :webrat, :type => :boolean
|
142
|
+
#
|
143
|
+
# Then, if you want webrat to be invoked, just supply:
|
144
|
+
#
|
145
|
+
# rails generate controller Account --webrat
|
146
|
+
#
|
147
|
+
# The hooks lookup is similar as above:
|
148
|
+
#
|
149
|
+
# "rails:generators:webrat", "webrat:generators:controller", "webrat"
|
150
|
+
#
|
151
|
+
# ==== Custom invocations
|
152
|
+
#
|
153
|
+
# You can also supply a block to hook_for to customize how the hook is
|
154
|
+
# going to be invoked. The block receives two arguments, an instance
|
155
|
+
# of the current class and the class to be invoked.
|
156
|
+
#
|
157
|
+
# For example, in the resource generator, the controller should be invoked
|
158
|
+
# with a pluralized class name. But by default it is invoked with the same
|
159
|
+
# name as the resource generator, which is singular. To change this, we
|
160
|
+
# can give a block to customize how the controller can be invoked.
|
161
|
+
#
|
162
|
+
# hook_for :resource_controller do |instance, controller|
|
163
|
+
# instance.invoke controller, [ instance.name.pluralize ]
|
164
|
+
# end
|
165
|
+
#

== 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
|
+
|
43
|
+
* The Getting Started Guide: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html
|
44
|
+
* Ruby on Rails Tutorial Book: http://www.railstutorial.org/
|
45
|
+
|
46
|
+
|
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-debug19 to run the server in debugging
|
90
|
+
mode. With gems, use <tt>sudo gem install ruby-debug19</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
|
+
|
141
|
+

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.
