| I am new to ruby, played with Sinatra now want to try Rails 3. I am setting up my environment and came up with a checklist. How would you improve it? Here is what I have installed Rake .9.2
Compass 0.11.5
Rails 3.0.7
Passenger 3.0.7
+ a host of dependencies. My goal is to create an environment with Compass Framework, Passenger and jQuery. Here are my steps -- Thanks for the feedback! Create Rails App, Database & Server Instance
(1)
Run rails new prjName --using blueprint
(2)
Is httpd.conf file pointing to right file?
(3)
Delete /public/index.html.erb
(4)
Update Rakefile if using Rake 0.9.2 module ::applicationName
class Application
include Rake::DSL
end
end module ::RakeFileUtils
extend Rake::FileUtilsExt
end (5)
Run rake db:create:all (optional) (6)
Run rails g scaffold modelName attr:DataType.. (7)
Add to route.rb root :to => 'resource#action' (8)
Run rake db:migrate (9)
Go to migrate folder and confirm contents of date_create_resource.rb (10)
Add gem "rake", "~> 0.9.2" to Gemfile Set up jQuery, Compass and Finish Up (11)
Run compass init rails add generated statement to Gemfile (12) Add gem "jquery-rails", "~> 1.0.12" to Gemfile
(13) Run rails generate jquery:install --ui
(14) Run compass init rails (to generate a sass folder)? I should not have to do this? Any Compass Users please help me understand why this is the case... (15)
Place js references in ERB file
<%= javascript_include_tag"javascripts/jquery.min.js"%>
<%= javascript_include_tag "javascripts/jquery-ui.min.js"%>
<%= javascript_include_tag "javascripts/jquery-ui.min.js"%> (16)
Review, update Gemfile (jQuery,rake, compass) (17)
Update the compass.rb file (18)
Run bundle install (19)
Restart the server sudo apachectl graceful |
My example is here https://github.com/prognostikos/rails_templates/blob/master/... and if you search github you can find many more.
Use with 'rails new yourapp --template=path/to/template'
