1
+ = RTLize
2
+
3
+ RTLize is a rails plugin that semi-automatically allows you to use the same stylesheet file(s) to produce both left-to-right and right-to-left layouts for your markup. It does this by intelligently switching all the left/right properties and values in the stylesheets you choose to RTLize.
4
+
5
+ == Usage
6
+
7
+ === Adding it to your application
8
+
9
+ To add RTLize to your Rails application, all you need to do is add the following line to your Gemfile:
10
+
11
+ gem 'rtlize', :git => 'git://github.com/maljub01/RTLize.git'
12
+
13
+ Then run `bundle install` and you'll be all set.
14
+
15
+ === Basic usage
16
+
17
+ RTLize registers a Sprocket's engine to preprocess the '.rtl' extension. This preprocessor expects CSS for input, and will output an RTLized version of the CSS it receives.
18
+
19
+ For instance, if you want to serve an RTL version of your 'application.css.sass', you can make a symbolic link to it (or just a copy if you must) with the filename 'application-rtl.css.rtl.sass'. The '.rtl' extension is what triggers RTLize's preprocessor (the RTLizer) and must come right after the '.css' extension to work properly. As for the '-rtl' appended to the filename, this is just a convention I've adopted to differentiate RTLized CSS files from non-rtlized CSS files because otherwise they'll both have the same URI, which you definitely don't want. You can choose whichever naming convention you feel comfortable with.
20
+
21
+ === Manually overriding the CSS
22
+
23
+ When writing your CSS, you will often encounter cases where you need to manually override the CSS for rtl, to change a background image for example. To do this, you can use the rtl class. The RTLizer wont transform any CSS rule that mentions the class 'rtl'. Notice that you'll need to manually add an 'rtl' class to your HTML tags that will use this (usually to the html or body tag).
24
+
25
+ === Preserving the layout for some sections of your markup
26
+
27
+ You might also find that you need to perserve the layout on certain parts of your website. To do this, you'll need to tell the RTLizer about the CSS files/rules you don't want switched. You can do this using the no-rtl directive. The way this works is that whenever the RTLizer finds the following comment:
28
+ /*!= begin(no-rtl) */
29
+ it wont transform all the CSS rules that follow until it reaches the comment:
30
+ /*!= end(no-rtl) */
31
+ after which it will return to transforming the CSS rules it finds as normal.
32
+
33
+ A few issues to keep in mind when using the no-rtl directive is that, depending on your CSS preprocessor if you use one, you might need to add an extra !. You should also avoid adding those comments except at the top-level of your nested declarations for them to work properly. For example, using SASS, the no-rtl directives look like this:
34
+
35
+ .top-level-class
36
+ .child-class-1
37
+ margin-left: 1px // This rule will be transformed to "margin-right: 1px"
38
+
39
+ /*!!= begin(no-rtl) */
40
+ .top-level-class
41
+ .child-class-2
42
+ float: left // This rule wont be transformed
43
+ /*!!= end(no-rtl) */
44
+
45
+ .another-top-level-class
46
+ span
47
+ padding-right: 5px // This rule will be transformed to "padding-left: 5px"
48
+
49
+
50
+ == RTLize in the wild!
51
+
52
+ Jawaker (an Arabic card game website) uses RTLize to automatically generate CSS files for the right-to-left (Arabic) layout of the website. You can get an idea of how RTLize works by comparing {the English interface}[http://www.jawaker.com/en] with {the Arabic one}[http://www.jawaker.com/ar]. Jawaker utilizes all the main features of RTLize: most the CSS is layout-switched automatically, with some manually-specified switching for images. Also, some parts (the game table, for example) has the same layout in both Arabic and English (to preserve playing order).
53
+
54
+ == TODO
55
+
56
+ * Add examples, including a sample application.
57
+ * Use a proper CSS parser.
58
+ * Improve coverage.
59
+ * Improve behavior & documentation of the no-rtl directive.
60
+ * Add helper methods in both Rails & JS that would take a string (or a hash) of CSS declarations and convert them to the equivalent RTLized version. This is in order to extend the RTLization support to inline styles as well as dynamic CSS changes.
61
+
62
+ == Credits
63
+
64
+ * This project was inspired by {Dustin Diaz's R2}[http://github.com/ded/R2]. The initial version was in fact not much more than a ruby port of R2.

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.

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.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>

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.

196
+ app
197
+ Holds all the code that's specific to this particular application.
198
+
199
+ app/assets
200
+ Contains subdirectories for images, stylesheets, and JavaScript files.
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
209
+ ActiveRecord::Base by default.
210
+
211
+ 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
214
+ 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
+ config
229
+ Configuration files for the Rails environment, the routing map, the database,
230
+ and other dependencies.
231
+
232
+ db
233
+ Contains the database schema in schema.rb. db/migrate contains all the
234
+ sequence of Migrations for your schema.
235
+
236
+ doc
237
+ This directory is where your application documentation will be stored when
238
+ generated using <tt>rake doc:app</tt>
239
+
240
+ 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
+ public
246
+ The directory available for the web server. Also contains the dispatchers and the
247
+ default HTML files. This should be set as the DOCUMENT_ROOT of your web
248
+ server.
249
+
250
+ script
251
+ Helper scripts for automation and generation.
252
+
253
+ test
254
+ Unit and functional tests along with fixtures. When using the rails generate
255
+ command, template test files will be generated for you and placed in this
256
+ directory.
257
+
258
+ vendor
259
+ External libraries that the application depends on. Also includes the plugins
260
+ subdirectory. If the app has frozen rails, those gems also go here, under
261
+ vendor/rails/. This directory is in the load path.
