Anatomy of a Rails App

Models, Views, & Controllers

CRUD actions in the controller

●
Create – new, create

● Read – index, show

● Update – edit, update

●
Destroy - destroy

In stations_controller.rb (index):

@stations = Station.all

In stations_controller.rb (show):

@stations = Station.find(params[:id])

ActiveRecord::Base
Maps station model to stations table in database

The Rails Console

1. Open the terminal
2. Navigate to the 'firstfm' directory
3. Run the commands:
rails console

The Rails Console

rails console

Task!
Recreate the first line of the show action.

1. Create a hash with the key :id
2. Pass it into Station.find()

Go to
guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_querying.html

The Rails Console

Recreate the first line of the show action.

1. Create a hash with the key :id
2. Pass it into Station.find()

View files match
action names

Where are
Create, update & destroy?

These are .erb,
embedded ruby files

index.html.erb:
...

<% @stations.each do |station| %>

#loop stuff

<% end %>

... <% %>
for code

show.html.erb:
…

 Name:
 <%= @station.name %>


 Description:
 <%= @station.description %>


 Url:
 <%= @station.url %>
 <%= %>
... for printing

show.html.erb:

<%= link_to 'Edit',
edit_station_path(@station) %>
|
<%= link_to 'Back', stations_path %>

What's this?

show.html.erb:

<%= link_to 'Edit',
edit_station_path(@station) %>
|
<%= link_to 'Back', stations_path %>

These are both view helpers.

View Helpers & Being DRY

Don't
Repeat
Yourself


View Helpers:

Methods we can call
in our views to write
less code / markup!


Rails Provides Us With Helpers:

● Links
● Forms

● Images

● And even more!

Layouts

Layout files are
found here

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Firstfm</title>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "application" %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "application"
%>
<%= csrf_meta_tags %>
</head>
<body>

<%= yield %> The default layout
template.
</body>
</html>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
%>
</head>
<body>
This is where our
<%= yield %> templates
are rendered
</body>
</html>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
%>
</head>
<body>

<%= yield %> This helpers include
Our default js / css
</body>
</html>

Task: Display a logo image on each
page !

1. Find and download an image to use as
a logo

2. Put it in 'firstfm/public/assets/'

3. Display it with the 'image_tag' helper

Search for 'image_tag' on
http://apidock.com/rails for reference!

all fit together?
