== Welcome to Rails
|
||||
|
||||
Rails is a web-application and persistence framework that includes everything
|
||||
needed to create database-backed web-applications according to the
|
||||
Model-View-Control pattern of separation. This pattern splits the view (also
|
||||
called the presentation) into "dumb" templates that are primarily responsible
|
||||
for inserting pre-built data in between HTML tags. The model contains the
|
||||
"smart" domain objects (such as Account, Product, Person, Post) that holds all
|
||||
the business logic and knows how to persist themselves to a database. The
|
||||
controller handles the incoming requests (such as Save New Account, Update
|
||||
Product, Show Post) by manipulating the model and directing data to the view.
|
||||
|
||||
In Rails, the model is handled by what's called an object-relational mapping
|
||||
layer entitled Active Record. This layer allows you to present the data from
|
||||
database rows as objects and embellish these data objects with business logic
|
||||
methods. You can read more about Active Record in
|
||||
link:files/vendor/rails/activerecord/README.html.
|
||||
|
||||
The controller and view are handled by the Action Pack, which handles both
|
||||
layers by its two parts: Action View and Action Controller. These two layers
|
||||
are bundled in a single package due to their heavy interdependence. This is
|
||||
unlike the relationship between the Active Record and Action Pack that is much
|
||||
more separate. Each of these packages can be used independently outside of
|
||||
Rails. You can read more about Action Pack in
|
||||
link:files/vendor/rails/actionpack/README.html.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Getting started
|
||||
|
||||
1. At the command prompt, start a new rails application using the rails command
|
||||
and your application name. Ex: rails myapp
|
||||
(If you've downloaded rails in a complete tgz or zip, this step is already done)
|
||||
2. Change directory into myapp and start the web server: <tt>script/server</tt> (run with --help for options)
|
||||
3. Go to http://localhost:3000/ and get "Welcome aboard: You’re riding the Rails!"
|
||||
4. Follow the guidelines to start developing your application
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Web Servers
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Rails will try to use Mongrel and lighttpd if they are installed, otherwise
|
||||
Rails will use the WEBrick, the webserver that ships with Ruby. When you run script/server,
|
||||
Rails will check if Mongrel exists, then lighttpd and finally fall back to WEBrick. This ensures
|
||||
that you can always get up and running quickly.
|
||||
|
||||
Mongrel is a Ruby-based webserver with a C-component (which requires compilation) that is
|
||||
suitable for development and deployment of Rails applications. If you have Ruby Gems installed,
|
||||
getting up and running with mongrel is as easy as: <tt>gem install mongrel</tt>.
|
||||
More info at: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org
|
||||
|
||||
If Mongrel is not installed, Rails will look for lighttpd. It's considerably faster than
|
||||
Mongrel and WEBrick and also suited for production use, but requires additional
|
||||
installation and currently only works well on OS X/Unix (Windows users are encouraged
|
||||
to start with Mongrel). We recommend version 1.4.11 and higher. You can download it from
|
||||
http://www.lighttpd.net.
|
||||
|
||||
And finally, if neither Mongrel or lighttpd are installed, Rails will use the built-in Ruby
|
||||
web server, WEBrick. WEBrick is a small Ruby web server suitable for development, but not
|
||||
for production.
|
||||
|
||||
But of course its also possible to run Rails on any platform that supports FCGI.
|
||||
Apache, LiteSpeed, IIS are just a few. For more information on FCGI,
|
||||
please visit: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/FastCGI
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Debugging Rails
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes your application goes wrong. Fortunately there are a lot of tools that
|
||||
will help you debug it and get it back on the rails.
|
||||
|
||||
First area to check is the application log files. Have "tail -f" commands running
|
||||
on the server.log and development.log. Rails will automatically display debugging
|
||||
and runtime information to these files. Debugging info will also be shown in the
|
||||
browser on requests from 127.0.0.1.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also log your own messages directly into the log file from your code using
|
||||
the Ruby logger class from inside your controllers. Example:
|
||||
|
||||
class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
|
||||
def destroy
|
||||
@weblog = Weblog.find(params[:id])
|
||||
@weblog.destroy
|
||||
logger.info("#{Time.now} Destroyed Weblog ID ##{@weblog.id}!")
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
The result will be a message in your log file along the lines of:
|
||||
|
||||
Mon Oct 08 14:22:29 +1000 2007 Destroyed Weblog ID #1
|
||||
|
||||
More information on how to use the logger is at http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/
|
||||
|
||||
Also, Ruby documentation can be found at http://www.ruby-lang.org/ including:
|
||||
|
||||
* The Learning Ruby (Pickaxe) Book: http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/
|
||||
* Learn to Program: http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/ (a beginners guide)
|
||||
|
||||
These two online (and free) books will bring you up to speed on the Ruby language
|
||||
and also on programming in general.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Breakpoints
|
||||
|
||||
Breakpoint support is available through the script/breakpointer client. This
|
||||
means that you can break out of execution at any point in the code, investigate
|
||||
and change the model, AND then resume execution! Example:
|
||||
|
||||
class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
|
||||
def index
|
||||
@posts = Post.find(:all)
|
||||
breakpoint "Breaking out from the list"
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
So the controller will accept the action, run the first line, then present you
|
||||
with a IRB prompt in the breakpointer window. Here you can do things like:
|
||||
|
||||
Executing breakpoint "Breaking out from the list" at .../webrick_server.rb:16 in 'breakpoint'
|
||||
|
||||
>> @posts.inspect
|
||||
=> "[#<Post:0x14a6be8 @attributes={\"title\"=>nil, \"body\"=>nil, \"id\"=>\"1\"}>,
|
||||
#<Post:0x14a6620 @attributes={\"title\"=>\"Rails you know!\", \"body\"=>\"Only ten..\", \"id\"=>\"2\"}>]"
|
||||
>> @posts.first.title = "hello from a breakpoint"
|
||||
=> "hello from a breakpoint"
|
||||
|
||||
...and even better is that you can examine how your runtime objects actually work:
|
||||
|
||||
>> f = @posts.first
|
||||
=> #<Post:0x13630c4 @attributes={"title"=>nil, "body"=>nil, "id"=>"1"}>
|
||||
>> f.
|
||||
Display all 152 possibilities? (y or n)
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, when you're ready to resume execution, you press CTRL-D
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Console
|
||||
|
||||
You can interact with the domain model by starting the console through <tt>script/console</tt>.
|
||||
Here you'll have all parts of the application configured, just like it is when the
|
||||
application is running. You can inspect domain models, change values, and save to the
|
||||
database. Starting the script without arguments will launch it in the development environment.
|
||||
Passing an argument will specify a different environment, like <tt>script/console production</tt>.
|
||||
|
||||
To reload your controllers and models after launching the console run <tt>reload!</tt>

== Description of contents
|
||||
|
||||
app
|
||||
Holds all the code that's specific to this particular application.
|
||||
|
||||
app/controllers
|
||||
Holds controllers that should be named like weblogs_controller.rb for
|
||||
automated URL mapping. All controllers should descend from ApplicationController
|
||||
which itself descends from ActionController::Base.
|
||||
|
||||
app/models
|
||||
Holds models that should be named like post.rb.
|
||||
Most models will descend from ActiveRecord::Base.
|
||||
|
||||
app/views
|
||||
Holds the template files for the view that should be named like
|
||||
weblogs/index.rhtml for the WeblogsController#index action. All views use eRuby
|
||||
syntax.
|
||||
|
||||
app/views/layouts
|
||||
Holds the template files for layouts to be used with views. This models the common
|
||||
header/footer method of wrapping views. In your views, define a layout using the
|
||||
<tt>layout :default</tt> and create a file named default.rhtml. Inside default.rhtml,
|
||||
call <% yield %> to render the view using this layout.
|
||||
|
||||
app/helpers
|
||||
Holds view helpers that should be named like weblogs_helper.rb. These are generated
|
||||
for you automatically when using script/generate for controllers. Helpers can be used to
|
||||
wrap functionality for your views into methods.
|
||||
|
||||
config
|
||||
Configuration files for the Rails environment, the routing map, the database, and other dependencies.
|
||||
|
||||
components
|
||||
Self-contained mini-applications that can bundle together controllers, models, and views.
|
||||
|
||||
db
|
||||
Contains the database schema in schema.rb. db/migrate contains all
|
||||
the sequence of Migrations for your schema.
|
||||
|
||||
doc
|
||||
This directory is where your application documentation will be stored when generated
|
||||
using <tt>rake doc:app</tt>
|
||||
|
||||
lib
|
||||
Application specific libraries. Basically, any kind of custom code that doesn't
|
||||
belong under controllers, models, or helpers. This directory is in the load path.
|
||||
|
||||
public
|
||||
The directory available for the web server. Contains subdirectories for images, stylesheets,
|
||||
and javascripts. Also contains the dispatchers and the default HTML files. This should be
|
||||
set as the DOCUMENT_ROOT of your web server.
|
||||
|
||||
script
|
||||
Helper scripts for automation and generation.
|
||||
|
||||
test
|
||||
Unit and functional tests along with fixtures. When using the script/generate scripts, template
|
||||
test files will be generated for you and placed in this directory.
|
||||
|
||||
vendor
|
||||
External libraries that the application depends on. Also includes the plugins subdirectory.
|
||||
This directory is in the load path.
