== Welcome to Rails

Rails is a web-application and persistance framework that includes everything
needed to create database-backed web-applications according to the
Model-View-Control pattern of separation. This pattern splits the view (also
called the presentation) into "dumb" templates that are primarily responsible
for inserting pre-build 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.

In Rails, the model is handled by what's called a 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.

The controller and view is 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.


== Requirements

* Database and driver (MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite)
* Rake[http://rake.rubyforge.org] for running tests and the generating documentation

== Optionals

* Apache 1.3.x or 2.x or lighttpd 1.3.11+ (or any FastCGI-capable webserver with a
mod_rewrite-like module)
* FastCGI (or mod_ruby) for better performance on Apache

== Getting started

1. Run the WEBrick servlet: <tt>ruby script/server</tt>
(run with --help for options)
2. Go to http://localhost:3000/ and get "Congratulations, you've put Ruby on Rails!"
3. Follow the guidelines on the "Congratulations, you've put Ruby on Rails!" screen


== Example for Apache conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName rails
DocumentRoot /path/application/public/
ErrorLog /path/application/log/server.log

<Directory /path/application/public/>
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Allow from all
Order allow,deny
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

NOTE: Be sure that CGIs can be executed in that directory as well. So ExecCGI
should be on and ".cgi" should respond. All requests from 127.0.0.1 goes
through CGI, so no Apache restart is necessary for changes. All other requests
goes through FCGI (or mod_ruby) that requires restart to show changes.


== Example for lighttpd conf (with FastCGI)

server.port = 8080
server.bind = "127.0.0.1"
# server.event-handler = "freebsd-kqueue" # needed on OS X

server.modules = ( "mod_rewrite", "mod_fastcgi" )

url.rewrite = ( "^/$" => "index.html", "^([^.]+)$" => "$1.html" )
server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"

server.document-root = "/path/application/public"
server.errorlog = "/path/application/log/server.log"

fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" =>
( "localhost" =>
(
"min-procs" => 1,
"max-procs" => 5,
"socket" => "/tmp/application.fcgi.socket",
"bin-path" => "/path/application/public/dispatch.fcgi",
"bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" => "development" )
)
)
)


== Debugging Rails

Have "tail -f" commands running on both the server.log, production.log, and
test.log files. 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.


== Breakpoints

Breakpoint support is available through the script/breakpointer client. This
means that you can break out of execution at any point in the code, investigate
and change the model, AND then resume execution! Example:

class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
def index
@posts = Post.find_all
breakpoint "Breaking out from the list"
end
end

So the controller will accept the action, run the first line, then present you
with a IRB prompt in the breakpointer window. Here you can do things like:

Executing breakpoint "Breaking out from the list" at .../webrick_server.rb:16 in 'breakpoint'

>> @posts.inspect
=> "[#<Post:0x14a6be8 @attributes={\"title\"=>nil, \"body\"=>nil, \"id\"=>\"1\"}>,
#<Post:0x14a6620 @attributes={\"title\"=>\"Rails you know!\", \"body\"=>\"Only ten..\", \"id\"=>\"2\"}>]"
>> @posts.first.title = "hello from a breakpoint"
=> "hello from a breakpoint"

...and even better is that 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 press CTRL-D


== Console

You can interact with the domain model by starting the console through script/console.
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. Start the script without arguments will launch it in the development environment.
Passing an argument will specify a different environment, like <tt>console production</tt>.


== Description of contents

app
Holds all the code that's specific to this particular application.

app/controllers
Holds controllers that should be named like weblog_controller.rb for
automated URL mapping. All controllers should descend from
ActionController::Base.

app/models
Holds models that should be named like post.rb.
Most models will descent from ActiveRecord::Base.

app/views
Holds the template files for the view that should be named like
weblog/index.rhtml for the WeblogController#index action. All views uses eRuby
syntax. This directory can also be used to keep stylesheets, images, and so on
that can be symlinked to public.

app/helpers
Holds view helpers that should be named like weblog_helper.rb.

config
Configuration files for the Rails environment, the routing map, the database, and other dependencies.

components
Self-contained mini-applications that can bundle controllers, models, and views together.

lib
Application specific libraries. Basically, any kind of custom code that doesn't
belong controllers, models, or helpers. This directory is in the load path.

public
The directory available for the web server. Contains sub-directories for images, stylesheets,
and javascripts. Also contains the dispatchers and the default HTML files.

script
Helper scripts for automation and generation.

test
Unit and functional tests along with fixtures.

vendor
External libraries that the application depend on. This directory is in the load path.

== Installation

Done generating the login system. but there are still a few things you have to
do manually. First open your application.rb and add

require_dependency "login_system"

to the top of the file and include the login system with

include LoginSystem

The beginning of your ApplicationController.
It should look something like this :

require_dependency "login_system"

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
include LoginSystem
model :user

After you have done the modifications the the AbstractController you can import
the user model into the database. This model is meant as an example and you
should extend it. If you just want to get things up and running you can find
some create table syntax in db/user_model.sql.

The model :user is required when you are hitting problems to the degree of
"Session could not be restored becuase not all items in it are known"

== Requirements

You need a database table corresponding to the User model.

mysql syntax:
CREATE TABLE users (
id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
login varchar(80) default NULL,
password varchar(40) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

postgres :
CREATE TABLE "users" (
 "id" SERIAL NOT NULL UNIQUE,
 "login" VARCHAR(80),
 "password" VARCHAR,
 PRIMARY KEY("id")
) WITH OIDS;


sqlite:
CREATE TABLE 'users' (
'id' INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
'user' VARCHAR(80) DEFAULT NULL,
'password' VARCHAR(40) DEFAULT NULL
);

Of course your user model can have any amount of extra fields. This is just a
starting point

== How to use it

Now you can go around and happily add "before_filter :login_required" to the
controllers which you would like to protect.

After integrating the login system with your rails application navigate to your
new controller's signup method. There you can create a new account. After you
are done you should have a look at your DB. Your freshly created user will be
there but the password will be a sha1 hashed 40 digit mess. I find this should
be the minimum of security which every page offering login&password should give
its customers. Now you can move to one of those controllers which you protected
with the before_filter :login_required snippet. You will automatically be re-
directed to your freshly created login controller and you are asked for a
password. After entering valid account data you will be taken back to the
controller which you requested earlier. Simple huh?

== Tips & Tricks

How do I...

... access the user who is currently logged in

A: You can get the user object from the session using @session['user']
Example:
Welcome <%= @session[:user].name %>

... restrict access to only a few methods?

A: Use before_filters build in scoping.
Example:
before_filter :login_required, :only => [:myaccount, :changepassword]
before_filter :login_required, :except => [:index]

... check if a user is logged-in in my views?

A: @session[:user] will tell you. Here is an example helper which you can use to make this more pretty:
Example:
def user?
!@session[:user].nil?
end

... return a user to the page they came from before logging in?

A: The user will be send back to the last url which called the method "store_location"
Example:
User was at /articles/show/1, wants to log in.
in articles_controller.rb, add store_location to the show function and send the user
to the login form.
After he logs in he will be send back to /articles/show/1
