== dead simple reports == this rails plugin allows you to easily create and view arbitrary reports of your database tables. it therefore creates a reports controller with views and a report model in your application. to create a report you simply create an instance of Report. it then appears in the list of reports where you can view it either as html, csv or xls table. === to create a report === Report.create! :name => 'My Ruby Report', :kind => 'code', :code => 'User.find(:all).map(:&name)' This will generate a report that lists all user's names. Alternatively you can create a sql report: Report.create! :name => 'My SQL Report', :kind => 'sql', :code => 'SELECT name FROM users' to view the list of reports just go to http://localhost:3000/reports === customizing the views === to customzie the views you can simply edit the files under app/views/reports in your application. == customizing the controller == to customize the controller you can add code to the app/controllers/reports_controller file generated in your application. === contact === for hints, questions etc. please email alex[at]upstream-berlin.com
