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-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.find(: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.com/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

-
193
- app
194
- Holds all the code that's specific to this particular application.
195
-
196
- app/controllers
197
- Holds controllers that should be named like weblogs_controller.rb for
198
- automated URL mapping. All controllers should descend from
199
- ApplicationController which itself descends from ActionController::Base.
200
-
201
- app/models
202
- Holds models that should be named like post.rb. Models descend from
203
- ActiveRecord::Base by default.
204
-
205
- app/views
206
- Holds the template files for the view that should be named like
207
- weblogs/index.html.erb for the WeblogsController#index action. All views use
208
- eRuby syntax by default.
209
-
210
- app/views/layouts
211
- Holds the template files for layouts to be used with views. This models the
212
- common header/footer method of wrapping views. In your views, define a layout
213
- using the <tt>layout :default</tt> and create a file named default.html.erb.
214
- Inside default.html.erb, call <% yield %> to render the view using this
215
- layout.
216
-
217
- app/helpers
218
- Holds view helpers that should be named like weblogs_helper.rb. These are
219
- generated for you automatically when using generators for controllers.
220
- Helpers can be used to wrap functionality for your views into methods.
221
-
222
- config
223
- Configuration files for the Rails environment, the routing map, the database,
224
- and other dependencies.
225
-
226
- db
227
- Contains the database schema in schema.rb. db/migrate contains all the
228
- sequence of Migrations for your schema.
229
-
230
- doc
231
- This directory is where your application documentation will be stored when
232
- generated using <tt>rake doc:app</tt>
233
-
234
- lib
235
- Application specific libraries. Basically, any kind of custom code that
236
- doesn't belong under controllers, models, or helpers. This directory is in
237
- the load path.
238
-
239
- public
240
- The directory available for the web server. Contains subdirectories for
241
- images, stylesheets, and javascripts. Also contains the dispatchers and the
242
- default HTML files. This should be set as the DOCUMENT_ROOT of your web
243
- server.
244
-
245
- script
246
- Helper scripts for automation and generation.
247
-
248
- test
249
- Unit and functional tests along with fixtures. When using the rails generate
250
- command, template test files will be generated for you and placed in this
251
- directory.
252
-
253
- vendor
254
- External libraries that the application depends on. Also includes the plugins
255
- subdirectory. If the app has frozen rails, those gems also go here, under
256
- vendor/rails/. This directory is in the load path.
