1
+ = Rack::Mason
2
+
3
+ == Copyright
4
+
5
+ Rack::Mason is (c) radiospiel@open-lab.org. It is licensed under the terms of the MIT License.
6
+ Substantial parts are based on https://github.com/techiferous/rack-mason (c) techiferous@gmail.com
7
+
8
+ == Description
9
+
10
+ If you are creating Rack middleware that changes the HTML response, use
11
+ Rack::Mason to get a head start. Rack::Mason takes care of the
12
+ boilerplate Rack glue so that you can focus on simply changing the HTML.
13
+
14
+ == Usage
15
+
16
+ There are two ways you can change the HTML: as a Nokogiri document or as
17
+ a string. Simply define one of the following methods:
18
+
19
+ def update_body(doc)
20
+ ... insert code that changes the doc ...
21
+ end
22
+
23
+ Rack::Mason also provides some convenience methods for interacting with
24
+ Rack and Nokogiri as well as some convenience methods for testing.
25
+
26
+ == Examples
27
+
28
+ The examples/middlewares directory has examples of writing middleware using
29
+ Rack::Mason.
30
+
31
+ == Testing
32
+
33
+ Rack::Mason comes with some test helpers that make it easier for you to
34
+ write tests for your Rack middleware. Refer to the documentation for
35
+ MasonTestHelper for more details.
36
+
37
+ If you want to test Rack::Mason itself, this gem doesn't come with automated tests,
38
+ but it provides manual tests. Each of the example middlewares is inserted into a
39
+ Sinatra, Rails, and Rack test app.
40
+
41
+ To run the Rails test app:
42
+ * cd examples/railsapp
43
+ * script/server
44
+ * point your browser to http://localhost:3000
45
+
46
+ To run the Sinatra test app:
47
+ * cd examples/sinatraapp
48
+ * ruby app.rb
49
+ * point your browser to http://localhost:4567
50
+
51
+ To run the Rack test app:
52
+ * cd examples/rackapp
53
+ * rackup config.ru
54
+ * point your browser to http://localhost:9292

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" templates
7
+ that are primarily responsible for inserting pre-built data in between HTML tags.
8
+ The model contains the "smart" domain objects (such as Account, Product, Person,
9
+ Post) that holds all the business logic and knows how to persist themselves to
10
+ a database. The controller handles the incoming requests (such as Save New Account,
11
+ Update Product, Show Post) by manipulating the model and directing data to the view.
12
+
13
+ In Rails, the model is handled by what's called an object-relational mapping
14
+ layer entitled Active Record. This layer allows you to present the data from
15
+ database rows as objects and embellish these data objects with business logic
16
+ methods. You can read more about Active Record in
17
+ link:files/vendor/rails/activerecord/README.html.
18
+
19
+ The controller and view are handled by the Action Pack, which handles both
20
+ layers by its two parts: Action View and Action Controller. These two layers
21
+ are bundled in a single package due to their heavy interdependence. This is
22
+ unlike the relationship between the Active Record and Action Pack that is much
23
+ more separate. Each of these packages can be used independently outside of
24
+ Rails. You can read more about Action Pack in
25
+ link:files/vendor/rails/actionpack/README.html.
26
+
27
+
28
+ == Getting Started
29
+
30
+ 1. At the command prompt, start a new Rails application using the <tt>rails</tt> command
31
+ and your application name. Ex: rails myapp
32
+ 2. Change directory into myapp and start the web server: <tt>script/server</tt> (run with --help for options)
33
+ 3. Go to http://localhost:3000/ and get "Welcome aboard: You're riding the Rails!"
34
+ 4. Follow the guidelines to start developing your application
35
+
36
+
37
+ == Web Servers
38
+
39
+ By default, Rails will try to use Mongrel if it's are installed when started with script/server, otherwise Rails will use WEBrick, the webserver that ships with Ruby. But you can also use Rails
40
+ with a variety of other web servers.
41
+
42
+ Mongrel is a Ruby-based webserver with a C component (which requires compilation) that is
43
+ suitable for development and deployment of Rails applications. If you have Ruby Gems installed,
44
+ getting up and running with mongrel is as easy as: <tt>gem install mongrel</tt>.
45
+ More info at: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org
46
+
47
+ Say other Ruby web servers like Thin and Ebb or regular web servers like Apache or LiteSpeed or
48
+ Lighttpd or IIS. The Ruby web servers are run through Rack and the latter can either be setup to use
49
+ FCGI or proxy to a pack of Mongrels/Thin/Ebb servers.

51
+ == Apache .htaccess example for FCGI/CGI
52
+
53
+ # General Apache options
54
+ AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi

58
+ # If you don't want Rails to look in certain directories,
59
+ # use the following rewrite rules so that Apache won't rewrite certain requests
60
+ #
61
+ # Example:
62
+ # RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/notrails.*
63
+ # RewriteRule .* - [L]
64
+
65
+ # Redirect all requests not available on the filesystem to Rails
66
+ # By default the cgi dispatcher is used which is very slow
67
+ #
68
+ # For better performance replace the dispatcher with the fastcgi one
69
+ #
70
+ # Example:
71
+ # RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
72
+ RewriteEngine On
73
+
74
+ # If your Rails application is accessed via an Alias directive,
75
+ # then you MUST also set the RewriteBase in this htaccess file.
76
+ #
77
+ # Example:
78
+ # Alias /myrailsapp /path/to/myrailsapp/public
79
+ # RewriteBase /myrailsapp
80
+
81
+ RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
82
+ RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
83
+ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
84
+ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.cgi [QSA,L]
85
+
86
+ # In case Rails experiences terminal errors
87
+ # Instead of displaying this message you can supply a file here which will be rendered instead
88
+ #
89
+ # Example:
90
+ # ErrorDocument 500 /500.html
91
+
92
+ ErrorDocument 500 "<h2>Application error</h2>Rails application failed to start properly"

95
+ == Debugging Rails
96
+
97
+ Sometimes your application goes wrong. Fortunately there are a lot of tools that
98
+ will help you debug it and get it back on the rails.
99
+
100
+ First area to check is the application log files. Have "tail -f" commands running
101
+ on the server.log and development.log. Rails will automatically display debugging
102
+ and runtime information to these files. Debugging info will also be shown in the
103
+ browser on requests from 127.0.0.1.
104
+
105
+ You can also log your own messages directly into the log file from your code using
106
+ the Ruby logger class from inside your controllers. Example:
107
+
108
+ class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
109
+ def destroy
110
+ @weblog = Weblog.find(params[:id])
111
+ @weblog.destroy
112
+ logger.info("#{Time.now} Destroyed Weblog ID ##{@weblog.id}!")
113
+ end
114
+ end
115
+
116
+ The result will be a message in your log file along the lines of:
117
+
118
+ Mon Oct 08 14:22:29 +1000 2007 Destroyed Weblog ID #1
119
+
120
+ More information on how to use the logger is at http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/
121
+
122
+ Also, Ruby documentation can be found at http://www.ruby-lang.org/ including:
123
+
124
+ * The Learning Ruby (Pickaxe) Book: http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/
125
+ * Learn to Program: http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/ (a beginners guide)
126
+
127
+ These two online (and free) books will bring you up to speed on the Ruby language
128
+ and also on programming in general.
129
+
130
+
131
+ == Debugger
132
+
133
+ Debugger support is available through the debugger command when you start your Mongrel or
134
+ Webrick server with --debugger. This means that you can break out of execution at any point
135
+ in the code, investigate and change the model, AND then resume execution!
136
+ You need to install ruby-debug to run the server in debugging mode. With gems, use 'gem install ruby-debug'
137
+ Example:
138
+
139
+ class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
140
+ def index
141
+ @posts = Post.find(:all)
142
+ debugger
143
+ end
144
+ end
145
+
146
+ So the controller will accept the action, run the first line, then present you
147
+ with a IRB prompt in the server window. Here you can do things like:
148
+
149
+ >> @posts.inspect
150
+ => "[#<Post:0x14a6be8 @attributes={\"title\"=>nil, \"body\"=>nil, \"id\"=>\"1\"}>,
151
+ #<Post:0x14a6620 @attributes={\"title\"=>\"Rails you know!\", \"body\"=>\"Only ten..\", \"id\"=>\"2\"}>]"
152
+ >> @posts.first.title = "hello from a debugger"
153
+ => "hello from a debugger"
154
+
155
+ ...and even better is that you can examine how your runtime objects actually work:
156
+
157
+ >> f = @posts.first
158
+ => #<Post:0x13630c4 @attributes={"title"=>nil, "body"=>nil, "id"=>"1"}>
159
+ >> f.
160
+ Display all 152 possibilities? (y or n)
161
+
162
+ Finally, when you're ready to resume execution, you enter "cont"
163
+
164
+
165
+ == Console
166
+
167
+ You can interact with the domain model by starting the console through <tt>script/console</tt>.
168
+ Here you'll have all parts of the application configured, just like it is when the
169
+ application is running. You can inspect domain models, change values, and save to the
170
+ database. Starting the script without arguments will launch it in the development environment.
171
+ Passing an argument will specify a different environment, like <tt>script/console production</tt>.
172
+
173
+ To reload your controllers and models after launching the console run <tt>reload!</tt>
174
+
175
+ == dbconsole
176
+
177
+ You can go to the command line of your database directly through <tt>script/dbconsole</tt>.
178
+ You would be connected to the database with the credentials defined in database.yml.
179
+ Starting the script without arguments will connect you to the development database. Passing an
180
+ argument will connect you to a different database, like <tt>script/dbconsole production</tt>.
181
+ Currently works for mysql, postgresql and sqlite.
182
+
183
+ == Description of Contents
184
+
185
+ app
186
+ Holds all the code that's specific to this particular application.
187
+
188
+ app/controllers
189
+ Holds controllers that should be named like weblogs_controller.rb for
190
+ automated URL mapping. All controllers should descend from ApplicationController
191
+ which itself descends from ActionController::Base.
192
+
193
+ app/models
194
+ Holds models that should be named like post.rb.
195
+ Most models will descend from ActiveRecord::Base.
196
+
197
+ app/views
198
+ Holds the template files for the view that should be named like
199
+ weblogs/index.html.erb for the WeblogsController#index action. All views use eRuby
200
+ syntax.
201
+
202
+ app/views/layouts
203
+ Holds the template files for layouts to be used with views. This models the common
204
+ header/footer method of wrapping views. In your views, define a layout using the
205
+ <tt>layout :default</tt> and create a file named default.html.erb. Inside default.html.erb,
206
+ call <% yield %> to render the view using this layout.
207
+
208
+ app/helpers
209
+ Holds view helpers that should be named like weblogs_helper.rb. These are generated
210
+ for you automatically when using script/generate for controllers. Helpers can be used to
211
+ wrap functionality for your views into methods.
212
+
213
+ config
214
+ Configuration files for the Rails environment, the routing map, the database, and other dependencies.
215
+
216
+ db
217
+ Contains the database schema in schema.rb. db/migrate contains all
218
+ the sequence of Migrations for your schema.
219
+
220
+ doc
221
+ This directory is where your application documentation will be stored when generated
222
+ using <tt>rake doc:app</tt>
223
+
224
+ lib
225
+ Application specific libraries. Basically, any kind of custom code that doesn't
226
+ belong under controllers, models, or helpers. This directory is in the load path.
227
+
228
+ public
229
+ The directory available for the web server. Contains subdirectories for images, stylesheets,
230
+ and javascripts. Also contains the dispatchers and the default HTML files. This should be
231
+ set as the DOCUMENT_ROOT of your web server.
232
+
233
+ script
234
+ Helper scripts for automation and generation.
235
+
236
+ test
237
+ Unit and functional tests along with fixtures. When using the script/generate scripts, template
238
+ test files will be generated for you and placed in this directory.
239
+
240
+ vendor
241
+ External libraries that the application depends on. Also includes the plugins subdirectory.
242
+ If the app has frozen rails, those gems also go here, under vendor/rails/.
243
+ This directory is in the load path.
