I’ve been meaning to try Rails 2.0.1, and I had some trouble finding an example. I did find this one, which is quite good.
I thought I would add one of my own. Here in five lines are the steps to create a basic todo list application in rails.
rails todo
cd todo
rake db:create:all
script/generate scaffold Todo title:string body:text done:boolean due:datetime
rake db:migrate
Then start the web server
script/server
Open your browser to http://localhost:3000/todos
You can now create, edit and Delete items. Wow. Not one SQL command.
This tutorial assumes the following:
ralis 2.0.1 installed
running mysql with no password for root at localhost.
(And it was also made on a Macbook OS X Leopard).
That is just the ticket! I have been struggling to make a site because of the changes in scaffold and routing, and this example got me through it.
great example! it’s nice to start with the basics and work your way up to the more complicated examples. a great “Hello, world” example. Thanks for putting this up.
Killer! Thanks!
Thanks very much for this. I thought I’d never get Ruby working until this app. I can’t believe how quick and easy that was!
Nice and thank you. I used the following to to get this up and running with sqlite3:
rails -d sqlite3 todo
cd todo
rake db:create:all
script/generate scaffold Todo title:string body:text done:boolean due:datetime
rake db:migrate
script/server
um…. yeah, thanks Rob. I really don’t know what to say its just pretty.
Excellent !!!
wow this is the greatest thing ever! Simple and easy. Im telling everyone i know about this!!!!!!!!
