Do it every day

My first Rails app

By Benoit (Summer2) / @benoitvallon

What is it?

Demo

My first rails project and my first lines of ruby

What was cool in Rails

• The command line tools
• The design of the models
• The Asset pipeline
• The existing gem

The command line tools (yeoman generator)

rails new myProject // create a new project

rails server // launch a web server on localhost

rails controller myController // create a the files and project struture for your controller

The design of the models

• API resource oriented
• The validator on the models

            class Goal < ActiveRecord::Base
              belongs_to :user

              validates :user_id, presence: true
              validates :title, presence: true, length: { maximum: 140 }
              validates :start_date, presence: true

              has_many :activities, dependent: :destroy
            end
          

Asset pipeline (grunt/gulp)

• Easy to intergate sass
• Ready to work out of the box

The existing gem (npm)

• Many many packages

            gem 'devise', '~> 3.5.1'
            gem 'momentjs-rails'
            gem 'bootstrap3-datetimepicker-rails'
            gem 'font-awesome-sass'
          

Conclusion

• Everything is integrated
• Ruby have a nice syntax
• Rails have a nice features
• Makes me use reveals.js

Thank you
