2. Tools and Environment

Here’s the tools you’ll need. Don’t read endless reviews trying to decide on the best one; start somewhere and get going.

• Agile Web Development with Rails. Yes, it’s a book. And a cohesive book is worth 100 hobbled-together online tutorials.
• InstantRails: A .zip file containing Ruby, Apache, MySQL and PHP (for PhpMyAdmin), packaged and ready to go.
• Aptana/RadRails (like Eclipse) or Ruby In Steel (like Visual Studio) for editing code.
• GIT – Version control
• Subversion and/or TortoiseSVN for source control.
• Browse popular ruby on rails links on del.icio.us, Rails documentation and Ruby syntax & examples.

2.1 But What Does It All Mean?

Ruby is a programming language, similar to Python and Perl. It is dynamically typed (no need for “int i”), interpreted, and can be modified at runtime (such as adding new methods to classes).
Ruby API

Rails is a gem, or a Ruby library.
Rails API

IRB is the interactive Ruby console (type “irb” to use). Rails has a special IRB console to access your web app as it is running (excellent for live debugging): apps/blog>ruby script/console

Rake is Ruby’s version of Make. Define and run maintenance tasks like setting up databases, reloading data, backing up, or even deploying an app to your website.

Erb is embedded Ruby, which is like PHP. It lets you mix Ruby with HTML (for example):

Hello there, <%= get_user_name() %>

YAML (or YML) means “YAML Ain’t a Markup Language” — it’s a simple way to specify data:

{name: John Smith, age: 33}

It’s like JSON

Eclipse

O’Reilly: Ruby on Rails Meets Eclipse (2007)

2.2 Testtools

irb – interactive ruby bash

rubyfähigen Terminal öffnen (z.B. per Locomotive)

apps/blog>irb

Befehle zeilenweise eingeben:

irb(main):012:0> tmp = [[1,2],[3,4]]
=> [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
irb(main):007:0> for i in tmp
irb(main):008:1> i[0] = 11
irb(main):009:1> end
=> [[11, 2], [11, 4]]

Ruby Console

irb für das aktuelle Projekt: Rails invokes Ruby’s irb utility in the context of your Rails application

rubyfähigen Terminal in Projekt öffnen (z.B. per Locomotive)

apps/blog>ruby script/console

3. Entwicklungszyklus

• apps>rails blog -d mysql
  • erzeugt neue Anwendung “blog”
• apps/blog>rake db:create
  • erzeugt die passende Datenbank “blog_development”
• apps/blog>script/generate controller home index
  • erzeugt den controller home mit der action index
  • Anwendung kann jetzt getestet werden – Standartstartseite
• apps/blog>rm public/index.html
  • in config/routes folgendes vor map.connect ergänzen
    map.root :controller => “home”
  • Anwendung kann jetzt getestet werden – Startseite = home/index
• apps/blog>script/generate scaffold Post name:string title:string content:text
  • erzeugt MVC-Standartfiles für Manipulation von Model Post
• apps/blog>rake db:migrate
  • erzeugt alle Tabellen aus den Models, bzw. aus den migrationfiles
• Link ergänzen: apps/blog/app/views/home/index.html.erb editieren
  • <%= link_to "My Blog", posts_path %>
  • Anwendung kann jetzt getestet werden – Startseite = home/index – dem Link folgen
• apps/blog>rake doc:app
  • Erzeugt Documentation unter doc/app/

• Controller und Models einzeln hinzufügen
  • apps/blog>ruby script/generate [controller|model|migration] yourname
• Migration editieren: 
  blog/db/migrate/20090321142337_create_channels.rb
• apps/blog>rake db:migrate

4.2 Plugin annotate_models

planner>ruby script/plugin install http://repo.pragprog.com/svn/Public/plugins/annotate_models

2.run:
planner>rake annotate_models

4.3 Controller – Action – Parameter

http://my.url/store/add_to_cart/123
In this simple case, it takes the first part of the path, store, as the
name of the controller and the second part, add_to_cart, as the name of an
action. The last part of the path, 123, is by convention extracted into an internal
parameter called id.

4.4 ORM-object relational mapping

So an ORM layer maps tables to classes, rows to objects, and columns to
attributes of those objects. Class methods are used to perform table-level operations,
and instance methods perform operations on the individual rows.

4.5 Ruby

Types of variables
name local variable ‘name’
@name instance variable ‘name’
:name Symbol ‘name’

Instance variables are nil if not defined, while local var not defined leads to an error.
Ruby symbol
link_to “Goodbye!” , :action => “goodbye”
The :action part is a Ruby symbol. You can think of the colon as meaning
the thing named…, so :action means the thing named action.7 The => “goodbye”
associates the string goodbye with the name action. In effect, this gives us
keyword parameters for methods.

Arrays

a = [42, 8, 17]

a << “foo” << “bar” # Chaining array pushes
=> [42, 8, 17, 7, “foo”, “bar”]

>> (0..9).to_a # Use parentheses to call to_a on the range

=> [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

>> a.sort_by { rand }

array = array.split(/,\s*/)

array2 = []

array.in_groups_of(6) {|item| array2 << item }

puts array2[2][0]

Hashes

>> user = {}                          # {} is an empty hash
=> {}
>> user["first_name"] = "Michael"     # Key "first_name", value "Michael"
=> "Michael"
>> user["last_name"] = "Hartl"        # Key "last_name", value "Hartl"
=> "Hartl"
>> user["first_name"]                 # Element access is like arrays
=> "Michael"
>> user                               # A literal representation of the hash
=> {"last_name"=>"Hartl", "first_name"=>"Michael"}
>> user = { "first_name" => "Michael", "last_name" => "Hartl" }

better use symbols

>> user = { :name => "Michael Hartl", :email => "
 michael@example.com" }
=> {:name=>"Michael Hartl", :email=>"
 michael@example.com"}
>> user[:name]              # Access the value corresponding to :name.
=> "Michael Hartl"
>> user[:password]          # Access the value of an undefined key.
=> nil

Multidim hashes

>> params = {}        # We'll start with the strategically named params hash.
=> {}
>> params[:user] = { :name => "Michael Hartl", :email => "
 mhartl@example.com" }
=> {:name=>"Michael Hartl", :email=>"
 mhartl@example.com"}
>> params
=> {:user=>{:name=>"Michael Hartl", :email=>"
 mhartl@example.com"}}
>>  params[:user][:email]
=> "
 mhartl@example.com"

Generelle Regeln

– Ruby functions have an implicit return, meaning they return the last statement evaluated

– Ruby also has an explicit return option; using first return if if-statement is true:

>> def string_message(string)
>>   return "It's an empty string!" if string.empty?
>>   return "The string is nonempty."
>> end

>> def string_message(string)
>>   return "It's an empty string!" if string.empty?
>>   "The string is nonempty."
>> end

# Parentheses on function calls are optional.
stylesheet_link_tag('blueprint/screen', :media => 'screen')
stylesheet_link_tag 'blueprint/screen', :media => 'screen'

# Curly braces on final hash arguments are optional.
stylesheet_link_tag 'blueprint/screen', { :media => 'screen' }
stylesheet_link_tag 'blueprint/screen', :media => 'screen'

>> class Word
>>   def palindrome?(string)
>>     string == string.reverse
>>   end
>> end

>> w = Word.new              # Make a new Word object
>> w.palindrome?("level")
=> true

>> class Word < String             # Word inherits from String
>>   # Return true if the string is its own reverse.
>>   def palindrome?
>>     self == self.reverse             # self is the string itself
>>   end
>> end

>> s = Word.new("level")    # Make a new Word, initialized with "level".
=> "level"                  
>> s.palindrome?            # Words have the palindrome? method.
=> true                     
>> s.length                 # Words also inherit all the normal string methods.
=> 5

>> class String
>>   # Return true if the string is its own reverse.
>>   def palindrome?
>>     self == self.reverse
>>   end
>> end
=> nil
>> "deified".palindrome?
=> true

4.8 Rails-Helper

(see all at Rails Framework Doc)
A helper is a function designed for use in views.

<% for item in @items %>
<% for column in Item.content_columns %>
<%=h item.send(column.name) %>
<% end %>
<%= link_to ‘Show’, :action => ‘show’, :id => item %>
<%= link_to ‘Edit’, :action => ‘edit’, :id => item %>
<%= link_to ‘Destroy’, { :action => ‘destroy’, :id => item }, :confirm => ‘Are you sure?’, :method => :post %>
<% end %>

<%= link_to image_tag(‘delete.png’), { :action => ‘destroy’, :id => @entry, :start => @root, :layout => @layout }, :confirm => ‘Are you sure?’, :method => :post %>

<%= link_to image_tag(‘Einstellungen.gif’, :width => 50, :border => 0), :controller => ‘settings’, :action => ‘list’ %>
