-== Welcome to Rails
+== README
-Rails is a web-application framework that includes everything needed to create
-database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern.
+This README would normally document whatever steps are necessary to get the
+application up and running.
-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.
+Things you may want to cover:
-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.
+* Ruby version
-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.
+* System dependencies
+* Configuration
-== Getting Started
+* Database creation
-1. At the command prompt, create a new Rails application:
- <tt>rails new myapp</tt> (where <tt>myapp</tt> is the application name)
+* Database initialization
-2. Change directory to <tt>myapp</tt> and start the web server:
- <tt>cd myapp; rails server</tt> (run with --help for options)
+* How to run the test suite
-3. Go to http://localhost:3000/ and you'll see:
- "Welcome aboard: You're riding Ruby on Rails!"
+* Services (job queues, cache servers, search engines, etc.)
-4. Follow the guidelines to start developing your application. You can find
-the following resources handy:
+* Deployment instructions
-* The Getting Started Guide: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html
-* Ruby on Rails Tutorial Book: http://www.railstutorial.org/

-== 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/. There are
-several books available online as well:
-
-* Programming Ruby: http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/ (Pickaxe)
-* Learn to Program: http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/ (a beginners guide)
-
-These two books will bring you up to speed on the Ruby language and also on
-programming in general.
-
-
-== Debugger
-
-Debugger support is available through the debugger command when you start your
-Mongrel or WEBrick server with --debugger. This means that you can break out of
-execution at any point in the code, investigate and change the model, and then,
-resume execution! You need to install ruby-debug to run the server in debugging
-mode. With gems, use <tt>sudo gem install ruby-debug</tt>. Example:
-
- class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
- def index
- @posts = Post.all
- debugger
- end
- end
-
-So the controller will accept the action, run the first line, then present you
-with a IRB prompt in the server window. Here you can do things like:
-
- >> @posts.inspect
- => "[#<Post:0x14a6be8
- @attributes={"title"=>nil, "body"=>nil, "id"=>"1"}>,
- #<Post:0x14a6620
- @attributes={"title"=>"Rails", "body"=>"Only ten..", "id"=>"2"}>]"
- >> @posts.first.title = "hello from a debugger"
- => "hello from a debugger"
-
-...and even better, 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 can enter "cont".
-
-
-== Console
-
-The console is a Ruby shell, which allows you to interact with your
-application's domain model. 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.
-
-To start the console, run <tt>rails console</tt> from the application
-directory.
-
-Options:
-
-* Passing the <tt>-s, --sandbox</tt> argument will rollback any modifications
- made to the database.
-* Passing an environment name as an argument will load the corresponding
- environment. Example: <tt>rails console production</tt>.
-
-To reload your controllers and models after launching the console run
-<tt>reload!</tt>
-
-More information about irb can be found at:
-link:http://www.rubycentral.org/pickaxe/irb.html
-
-
-== dbconsole
-
-You can go to the command line of your database directly through <tt>rails
-dbconsole</tt>. You would be connected to the database with the credentials
-defined in database.yml. Starting the script without arguments will connect you
-to the development database. Passing an argument will connect you to a different
-database, like <tt>rails dbconsole production</tt>. Currently works for MySQL,
-PostgreSQL and SQLite 3.

-
-app
- Holds all the code that's specific to this particular application.
-
-app/assets
- Contains subdirectories for images, stylesheets, and JavaScript files.
-
-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. Models descend from
- ActiveRecord::Base by default.
-
-app/views
- Holds the template files for the view that should be named like
- weblogs/index.html.erb for the WeblogsController#index action. All views use
- eRuby syntax by default.
-
-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.html.erb.
- Inside default.html.erb, 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 generators 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.
-
-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. 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 rails generate
- command, 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. If the app has frozen rails, those gems also go here, under
- vendor/rails/. This directory is in the load path.
+Please feel free to use a different markup language if you do not plan to run
+<tt>rake doc:app</tt>.
