Rolling with Ruby on Rails, Part 2
by Curt Hibbs
03/03/2005
Editor's note: Curt Hibbs and Bill Walton have updated this tutorial for Rails 1.2 in Rolling with
Ruby on Rails Revisited and Rolling with Ruby on Rails Revisited, Part Two. We recommend those tutorials for all new Rails development.
Also check out Bill Walton's monthly series, Cookin' With Ruby on Rails.
Welcome back!
In Rolling with
Ruby on Rails, I barely scratched the surface of what you can do with Ruby
on Rails. I didn't talk about data validation or database transactions, and I
did not mention callbacks, unit testing, or caching. There was hardly a mention
of the many helpers that Rails includes to make your life easier. I can't really
do justice to all of these topics in the space of this article, but I will go
into details on some of them and present a brief overview of the
rest, with links to more detailed information.
 Related ReadingRuby on Rails: Up and Running: Rough Cuts VersionBy Bruce A. Tate, Curt Hibbs
Are you ready? Let's begin!
Updating Ruby on Rails
When I wrote Part 1,
the current version of Rails was 0.9.3. At the time of this writing, Rails is
up to version 0.10.0 and has some useful new features. I will use Rails 0.10.0
for this article. If you installed Rails after February 24, 2005, you already have
0.10.0 installed.
Figure 1 shows how to see what RubyGems you have installed (and their
version numbers). As with Part 1, I am working on a Windows system, so you
will need to translate if you use a different platform.
 Figure 1. Listing installed RubyGems
Open a command window and run the command:
gem list --local
Tip: the command gem list --remote will show all the available
RubyGems on the remote gem server on rubyforge.org.
If you don't have Rails 0.10.0 (or later) installed, then you will need to
rerun the command:
gem install rails
MySQL security update
In Part 1, I recommended that you leave the MySQL root password blank
because (at the time of writing) Rails did not support MySQL's new password
protocol. Many of you were not happy with this state of affairs, and to make
matters worse, there is now a virus that exploits password vulnerabilities in
MySQL on Windows.
Happily, starting with version 0.9.4, Rails now supports the new password
protocol.
New scaffold feature
Rails has a new scaffold feature, which I won't explore here, but it's cool enough
that I want to make sure you know about it. This is best illustrated by an
example.
Part 1 showed how to create a recipe model and controller with the
commands:
ruby script\generate model Recipe
ruby script\generate controller Recipe
I then instantiated the scaffolding by inserting scaffold
:recipe into the RecipeController class. The resulting CRUD
controllers and view templates were created on the fly and are not visible for
inspection.
The technique described above still works, but you now have another option. Run the command:
ruby script\generate scaffold Recipe
This generates both the model and the controller, plus it creates scaffold
code and view templates for all CRUD operations. This allows you to see the
scaffold code and modify it to meet your needs. Be careful using this if you've
already created models, controllers, or view templates, as it will overwrite any
existing files as it creates the scaffold code.
Completing the Recipe Application
It's time to round out the recipe application a bit. After that I'll present
some other features of Rails that I'm sure you'll want to know about.
Remember that I created my cookbook application in the directory
c:\rails\cookbook; all paths used in this article assume this base
directory. If you chose a different location, please be sure to make the proper
adjustments to the application paths you see in this article.
You can also download my cookbook source code for this tutorial in
one single zip file. This works with Rails 0.13 and later, so if you're
still using an older version, I suggest that you follow the upgrade
instructions.
For those of you who are cheating (you know who you are) and plan to just download
my source code without going through Part 1, you will also need to create a
database named cookbook in MySQL and populate it using cookbook.sql.
Creating a new recipe with a category
Because the code still relies on the scaffolding to create new recipes,
there is no way to assign a category to a recipe. This wouldn't be so bad--except that the page created to list all recipes assumes that every recipe will
have a category, and it generates an error if this is not true. That means that in the way I left things in Part 1, if you add a new recipe, you'll receive
errors while trying to list them.
The fix is to take over the new action from the scaffolding just as I showed
already with the edit action. Edit
c:\rails\cookbook\app\controllers\recipe_controller.rb and add a
new method like in Figure 2.
Figure 2. The Recipe controller's new method
The code @recipe = Recipe.new creates a new, empty recipe
object and assigns it to the instance variable @recipe. Remember,
an instance of the Recipe class represents a row in the recipes
database table. When creating a new recipe object, the Recipe class can assign
default values for each field that the view template can use.
The Recipe model class doesn't currently set any such default values, but
the view template I'll show off momentarily will use whatever is in the
@recipe object to initialize the display form. Later, you could
add default values in the Recipe class that will show up when you create a new
recipe.
As with the edit action, this also retrieves a collection of all categories
so that it can display a drop-down list of categories from which the user can
choose. The @categories instance variable holds this list of
categories.
In the directory c:\rails\cookbook\app\views\recipe, create a file
named new.rhtml that contains the HTML template shown below. It's
mostly standard HTML, with some extra code to create the
<select> and <option> tags for the
drop-down list of categories:
<html>
<head>
<title>New Recipe</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>New Recipe</h1>
<form action="/recipe/create" method="post">
<p>
<b>Title</b><br/>
<input id="recipe_title" name="recipe[title]" size="30" type="text" value=""/>
</p>
<p>
<b>Description</b><br/>
<input id="recipe_description" name="recipe[description]"
size="30" type="text" value=""/>
</p>
<p>
<b>Category:</b><br/>
<select name="recipe[category_id]">
<% @categories.each do |category| %>
<option value="<%= category.id %>">
<%= category.name %>
</option>
<% end %>
</select>
</p>
<p>
<b>Instructions</b><br/>
<textarea cols="40" id="recipe_instructions" name="recipe[instructions]"
rows="20" wrap="virtual">
</textarea>
</p>
<input type="submit" value="Create"/>
</form>
<a href="http://www.onlamp.com//recipe/list">Back</a>
</body>
</html>
This is not much different from the edit template from Part 1. I left out
the recipe's date because I'll set it to the current date when a user posts the
form back to the web app. This ensures that the recipe's date will always be
its creation date.
If you look at the form tag, you will see that this form will post to a
create action in the recipe controller. Edit
c:\rails\cookbook\app\controllers\recipe_controller.rb and add this
create method:
def create
@recipe = Recipe.new(@params['recipe'])
@recipe.date = Date.today
if @recipe.save
redirect_to :action => 'list'
else
render_action 'new'
end
end
This method first creates a new recipe object and initializes it from the
parameters posted by the form in new.rhtml. Then it sets the recipe's
date to today's date, and tells the recipe object to save itself to the
database. If the save is successful, it redirects to the list action that
displays all recipes. If the save fails, it redirects back to the new action so
the user can try again.
Give it a try. Start the web server by opening a command window, navigating
to c:\rails\cookbook, and running the command ruby
script\server. Then browse to http://127.0.0.1:3000/recipe/new
and add a new recipe like the one shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Adding a new recipe with a category
After you create the new recipe, you should see something like Figure 4.
