@ BASIC SETUP @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

2. rails new YOURPROJECTNAME
3. comment out coffee-rails gem
4. include the following gems

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ OPTIONAL BOOTSTRAP SETUP @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
* go to assets/javascripts/application.js and make sure you require bootstrap-sprockets like so:
//= require jquery
//= require bootstrap-sprockets
//= require jquery_ujs
so that it appears in that order
* go to assets/stylesheets
* add a file called main.scss, and put the following code inside:
@import "bootstrap-sprockets";
@import "bootstrap";

@ GENERATIONS @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
1. implement user registration and authentication
See: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise
can specify attributes other than devise defaults by adding options to rails g devise model (see line 509)
2. for each of your resources, type rails g model YOURRESOURCE
feel free to declare your resource's attributes in this step, e.g.
rails g model park name:string description:text creator:references city:references
HOWEVER when doing this, don't forget to take out the foreign_key options in the migration files for the references columns (see lines 513 and 514)
3. for each of your resources that you require a controller for, type rails g controller YOURRESOURCE
this will create a view folder for each controller you make
if you fuck up, you can destroy a controller and all associated files by doing rails destroy controller NAME
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ OPTIONAL DEVISE CUSTOMIZATION @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
* change minimum password length
Go to config/initializers/devise.rb
Change the 6 in config.password_length = 6..128
* permit additional parameters upon registration
See: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise#strong-parameters
Basically, in controllers/application_controller.rb, under protected, add:
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_up, keys: [:username])
end
and above protected, add:
before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?
* permit additional parameters upon update
Basically, in controllers/application_controller.rb, under protected, add:
def upon_update_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:account_update, keys: [:username, :biography])
end
and above protected, add:
before_action :upon_update_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?
* edit the view so that the user can enter these parameters upon registrations
See: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise#configuring-views
Go to views/users/registrations/new.html.erb
* add errors upon login failure (after configuring views)
See: http://stackoverflow.com/a/35376583/7015790
Go to views/users/registrations/sessions/new.html.erb
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ ROUTES AND ACTIONS @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
* for custom root, type root 'CONTROLLER#ACTION'
* to implement routes the rails way:
resources :RESOURCE
this will give you all seven routes
if you want to implement only certain routes, do (e.g.):
resources :RESOURCE, only: [:index, :show]
if you want to implement all routes except some, do (e.g.):
resources :RESOURCE, except: [:index, :show]
NOTE: the restriction name must match the controller action name, not the verb name from rails routes.
e.g. except: :delete IS WRONG! you do except: :destroy, since the action in the controller is called destroy
Thanks Ilaria :D
* to implement nested routes the rails way:
resources :RESOURCE do
resources :NESTEDROURCE
end
this will give you all seven routes for both RESOURCE and NESTEDRESOURCE. you can further restrict by doing (e.g.):
resources :cities, only: :index do
resources :parks, except: [:index, :show]
end
NOT SHOWN: rails routes was run many times between these
