We want to build an anonymous wiki (like this one) where anyone can create a new article or update an existing one.
Here is our schema:
+----------------+
| Article |
+----------------+
| title (string) |
| content (text) |
+----------------+
Use the right rails generator to generate the Article model.
Add the faker gem to your Gemfile and
run bundle install. Use this gem to generate 10 fake articles in
db/seeds.rb. When your code is done, you can run:
$ rake db:seed
Generate your model, and implement all 7 CRUD default actions to list, show, create, update and destroy an article.
Once you're done, you should have a very nice wiki with all basic functionalities.
Add the redcarpet gem to your Gemfile
and run bundle install. We want to use the Markdown syntax to write our articles content.
Markdown is a simple and human-readable syntax which generates HTML. It is used
everywhere, especially on GitHub.
Store some Markdown in your articles, and use the redcarpet gem to display
the rendered text in the show view.
Use the ace-rails-ap gem to
use the ace editor in place of the simple text area.
