A little place of calm » Blog Archive » CouchDB on Rails (part 1 of ?)

Wed, 28 Apr 2010 15:58:50 GMT

This afternoon i decided that what the Internet really needs right now is some information about how to connect Ruby on Rails to a CouchDB database. So i'm going to have a go! I don't quite know what to do (which will probably become very clear!) so this will be a play-along-at-home experience. I'll blog about it in a series of posts, stopping whenever i get stuck. Hopefully i'll receive some feedback on whether what i'm doing is a good idea, and get some tips for what to try next.

Sortable lists with JQuery in Rails | Awesomeful

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 21:04:10 GMT

Drag 'n Drop sortable lists are a great way to provide a UI for sorting, well, lists of things. Most Rails examples out in the wild use prototype/scriptaculous and the built in Rails javascript helpers. In this walkthrough we'll provide the same functionality using JQuery instead. We will not be using the built in Rails javascript helper. Instead we'll write Unobstrusive Javascript using JQuery.

Crossing borders: Extensions in Rails

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 08:54:12 GMT

If you've spent any time at all with Rails, you've doubtless noticed the acts_as commands in ActiveRecord. Though ActiveRecord deals with persistence, you often want to add behavior to your classes beyond database storage and retrieval. For example, by using acts_as_tree, you can add tree-like behavior to a class with a parent_id attribute. By saying nothing more than acts_as_tree in your ActiveRecord model, you can dynamically add methods to manage the tree, such as methods that retrieve the parent record or child record. Over the past month, I've been able to find Rails plug-ins to handle voting, versioning, Ajax, composite keys, and all manner of features that basic Rails doesn't support.

Removing Rails validations with metaprogramming

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 07:59:48 GMT

I recently found myself facing a metaprogramming challenge. I solved it by combining two terrible ugly hacks, and as such I won’t say I found a solution that is anywhere near to be elegant.

ASCIIcasts

I really like Ryan Bates’s Railscasts, but videos aren’t the easiest thing to search through when you’re trying to search for a single tip or line of Ruby code to add to your own site. ASCIIcasts are text versions of each Railscast, each with a link to the original video. I hope you find them useful. You can keep up to date with new episodes on Twitter.

Riding Rails: Upgrading to Snow Leopard

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 06:20:54 GMT

Last Friday, Apple released their new OS version: Snow Leopard. Upgrading to SL is very easy and even gives you back quite a lot of HD space. However a few things have changed in the OS and you need to understand what is going on so you won't get frustrated with the updating process and won't be wasting time fighting with the system.

6 Steps to Unobtrusive Rails (with jQuery)

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 08:45:14 GMT

Here's a set of 6 steps which breakdown the approach I have been using to unobtrusively add ajax functionality to a Rails application. The value of this approach (as opposed to traditional .rjs) is maintaining full separation of Javascript and display code, as well as building ajax on top of a version of your app that works without Javascript enabled in the user's browser.

Unobtrusive jQuery with Ruby on Rails | The Next Train

jQuery is my javascript library of choice. At Platform45 we use it in place of the prototype libraries included with Rails. jQuery makes it a pleasure working with the ugly javascript monster. The documentation is superb with plenty of examples.
