Alex's Rails Cheat Sheet

I think the most confusing thing that I have found about Ruby on Rails so far has been the transition from (trying to) write code myself to the use of the fabled "Rails Magic". So, to help my own understanding of a few core Ruby on Rails concepts, I have decided to write something on what I think is a CRITICAL topic... the idea of Convention over Configuration and why (in my mind) it is the most important thing that helps Rails become magic!

(This may be a topic that we cover in more detail in class but as I said, I'm writing this for my own understanding... I hope it helps someone else understand things too... Perhaps you can give me a hand when I'm crying next week!)

##Convention over configuration ###What does this "actually" mean...

#Simple Authentication with Bcrypt

This tutorial is for adding authentication to a vanilla Ruby on Rails app using Bcrypt and has_secure_password.

The steps below are based on Ryan Bates's approach from Railscast #250 Authentication from Scratch (revised).

You can see the final source code here: repo. I began with a stock rails app using rails new gif_vault

Getting Glyphicons from Bootstrap 3.0 in Rails: the easy way

What

Bootstrap 3.0 gives you access to the awesome icon set icon set by these dudes but it's not obvious for a Rails newbie like myself to get it all working together nicely

How

1. Download the bootstrap-glyphicons.css from here. Save that file to RAILS_ROOT/vendor/assets/stylesheet/bootstrap-glyphicons.css
2. Save all the font files in /dist/fonts from the Bootstrap 3.0 download to a new folder in your Rails app RAILS_ROOT/vendor/assets/fonts
3. Add this folder to the asset pipeline by appending config.assets.paths << Rails.root.join("vendor","assets", "fonts") to application.rb after the line that has class Application < Rails::Application.
4. In bootstrap-glyphicons.css modify the the `url

drogus

require 'bundler/setup'

require 'active_record'

include ActiveRecord::Tasks

db_dir = File.expand_path('../db', __FILE__)
config_dir = File.expand_path('../config', __FILE__)

DatabaseTasks.env = ENV['ENV'] || 'development'
