Move to your project
cd profilebook
“now you created rails project and you where in your project. By default rails had server you no need install seperate server like apache”
To run rails server
rails server (or) rails s
To check whether server is running on your system open your browser and give the following URL
use ctrl+c to stop server in terminal
“yes now your server is running. now i’m going to use scaffold generally scaffold means staging which is used during building construction time.similarly scaffold used to construct many files in rails you just see the magic by typing following command”
rails generate scaffold <your_table_name> <field:date_type>
Example: rails generate scaffold Profbook name:string title:string content:text
It will generate the following files
invoke active_record
create db/migrate/20141123050104_create_profbooks.rb
create app/models/profbook.rb
invoke test_unit
create test/models/profbook_test.rb
create test/fixtures/profbooks.yml
invoke resource_route
route resources :profbooks
invoke scaffold_controller
create app/controllers/profbooks_controller.rb
invoke erb
create app/views/profbooks
create app/views/profbooks/index.html.erb
create app/views/profbooks/edit.html.erb
create app/views/profbooks/show.html.erb
create app/views/profbooks/new.html.erb
create app/views/profbooks/_form.html.erb
invoke test_unit
create test/controllers/profbooks_controller_test.rb
invoke helper
create app/helpers/profbooks_helper.rb
invoke test_unit
create test/helpers/profbooks_helper_test.rb
invoke jbuilder
create app/views/profbooks/index.json.jbuilder
create app/views/profbooks/show.json.jbuilder
invoke assets
invoke coffee
create app/assets/javascripts/profbooks.js.coffee
invoke scss
create app/assets/stylesheets/profbooks.css.scss
invoke scss
create app/assets/stylesheets/scaffolds.css.scss
“you can open the files that you have created”
Now update your database by typing
rake db:migrate
Now root your index.html which is in /profbook/app/views/profbooks. to root the file
open config/routes.rb file and add the following line
root to: ‘profbooks#index’
your file should look like
Now again run your server by typing
rails s`
open your browser and type the following URL again
“heeeei yes now you created rails project… now you can create new profilebook you can give your details and you can view.”
I just added some gems and modified some html tags in my project
