| 159 | <h4>Creating a simple application</h4> |
|---|
| 160 | <p> |
|---|
| 161 | <ol> |
|---|
| 162 | <li> |
|---|
| 163 | Make sure this project is selected in the Ruby Explorer view, and select the <b>Generators</b> |
|---|
| 164 | view at the bottom of the screen. |
|---|
| 165 | </li> |
|---|
| 166 | <li> |
|---|
| 167 | Select <b>scaffold</b> |
|---|
| 168 | from the dropdown, and paste in the following:<pre> |
|---|
| 169 | recipe title:string author:string description:text |
|---|
| 170 | </pre> |
|---|
| 171 | </li> |
|---|
| 172 | <li> |
|---|
| 173 | Press <b>Go</b>. Rails will create a complete skeleton application including form entry fields and a database schema based on the above information. |
|---|
| 174 | </li> |
|---|
| 175 | <li> |
|---|
| 176 | Once it has finished writing information to the console, go to the </b>Rake Tasks</b> |
|---|
| 177 | view and choose <b>db:migrate</b>. Press <b>Go</b>. |
|---|
| 178 | </li> |
|---|
| 179 | <li> |
|---|
| 180 | This populates the database with an empty recipe table. |
|---|
| 181 | </li> |
|---|
| 182 | <li> |
|---|
| 183 | Once that has finished, click <a href="/recipes">here</a> |
|---|
| 184 | (note the url it created) to start populating data. Enter a few records. |
|---|
| 185 | </li> |
|---|
| 186 | <li> |
|---|
| 187 | If you lose this tab, you can re-launch your application from the <b>Run</b> |
|---|
| 188 | button in the top toolbar. Click on the arrow to the right-hand side of the button to launch the web browser again. |
|---|
| 189 | </li> |
|---|
| 190 | </ol> |
|---|
| 191 | </p> |
|---|
| 192 | <h4>Viewing your data</h4> |
|---|
| 193 | <p> |
|---|
| 194 | Go to to Window > Open Perspective > Data. Make sure the Data Navigator view is selected. You can expand out the data navigator tree for your project and view the data in the tables. |
|---|
| 195 | </p> |
|---|
| 196 | <h4>Viewing your server</h4> |
|---|
| 197 | <p> |
|---|
| 198 | Click on the <b>Servers</b> |
|---|
| 199 | view in order to stop and restart your internal Rails server. |
|---|
| 200 | </p> |
|---|
| 201 | <h4>Customizing your Application</h4> |
|---|
| 202 | <p> |
|---|
| 203 | You can begin editing the files under app/views to edit the template pages of your application. For further customization options and more advanced topics, see the RadRails documentation. |
|---|
| 204 | Key file locations: |
|---|
| 205 | <ol> |
|---|
| 206 | <li> |
