+ # Invoke a generator based on the value supplied by the user to the
58
+ # given option named "name". A class option is created when this method
59
+ # is invoked and you can set a hash to customize it.
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

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
+
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
+ More information about irb can be found at:
142
+ link:http://www.rubycentral.org/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.
153

194
+
195
+ app
196
+ Holds all the code that's specific to this particular application.
197
+
198
+ app/assets
199
+ Contains subdirectories for images, stylesheets, and JavaScript files.
200
+
201
+ app/controllers
202
+ Holds controllers that should be named like weblogs_controller.rb for
203
+ automated URL mapping. All controllers should descend from
204
+ ApplicationController which itself descends from ActionController::Base.
205
+
206
+ app/models
207
+ Holds models that should be named like post.rb. Models descend from
208
+ ActiveRecord::Base by default.
209
+
210
+ app/views
211
+ Holds the template files for the view that should be named like
212
+ weblogs/index.html.erb for the WeblogsController#index action. All views use
213
+ eRuby syntax by default.
214
+
215
+ app/views/layouts
216
+ Holds the template files for layouts to be used with views. This models the
217
+ common header/footer method of wrapping views. In your views, define a layout
218
+ using the <tt>layout :default</tt> and create a file named default.html.erb.
219
+ Inside default.html.erb, call <% yield %> to render the view using this
220
+ layout.
221
+
222
+ app/helpers
223
+ Holds view helpers that should be named like weblogs_helper.rb. These are
224
+ generated for you automatically when using generators for controllers.
225
+ Helpers can be used to wrap functionality for your views into methods.
226
+
227
+ config
228
+ Configuration files for the Rails environment, the routing map, the database,
229
+ and other dependencies.
230
+
231
+ db
232
+ Contains the database schema in schema.rb. db/migrate contains all the
233
+ sequence of Migrations for your schema.
234
+
235
+ doc
236
+ This directory is where your application documentation will be stored when
237
+ generated using <tt>rake doc:app</tt>
238
+
239
+ lib
240
+ Application specific libraries. Basically, any kind of custom code that
241
+ doesn't belong under controllers, models, or helpers. This directory is in
242
+ the load path.
243
+
244
+ public
245
+ The directory available for the web server. Also contains the dispatchers and the
246
+ default HTML files. This should be set as the DOCUMENT_ROOT of your web
247
+ server.
248
+
249
+ script
250
+ Helper scripts for automation and generation.
251
+
252
+ test
253
+ Unit and functional tests along with fixtures. When using the rails generate
254
+ command, template test files will be generated for you and placed in this
255
+ directory.
256
+
257
+ vendor
258
+ External libraries that the application depends on. If the app has frozen rails,
259
+ those gems also go here, under vendor/rails/. This directory is in the load path.
