A Capistrano Rails Guide

by Jonathan Rochkind, http://bibwild.wordpress.com

why cap?

Capistrano automates pushing out a new version of your application to a deployment location.

I've been writing and deploying Rails apps for a while, but I avoided using Capistrano until recently. I've got a pretty simple one-host deployment, and even though everyone said Capistrano was great, every time I tried to get started I just got snowed under not being able to figure out exactly what I wanted to do, and figured I wasn't having that much trouble doing it "manually".

class PostsController < ActionController::Base
  def create
    Post.create(post_params)
  end
  
  def update
    Post.find(params[:id]).update_attributes!(post_params)
  end

# My intention is to be able to do this:
#
# from within some view, render a partial
# with the added flavour that the partial is not a file
# but rather a table model instance - like say a Customer,
# a PurchaseOrder, or in this case - a Template

# the partial rendering "should" adhere to all the standard Rails
# magic, ie nested rendering of partials, builders with Erb/HAML, 
# I18n translation support to label the most important.

Render and Redirect

The normal controller/view flow is to display a view template corresponding to the current controller action, but sometimes we want to change that. We use render in a controller when we want to respond within the current request, and redirect_to when we want to spawn a new request.

Render

The render method is very overloaded in Rails. Most developers encounter it within the view template, using render :partial => 'form' or render @post.comments, but here we'll focus on usage within the controller.
