Rails Workflow

A few simple steps when starting a new Rails project

• rails new <app_name>

• Update Gemfile to include gems for testing

  • e.g. RSpec, FactoryGirl, Capybara

   group :development, :test do
   	gem "rspec-rails"	
   end
   
   group :test do
   	gem "capybara"
   	gem "launchy"
   	gem "factory_girl_rails"
   	gem "database_cleaner"
   end
  

• Generate RSpec stuff

  • bundle exec rails generate rspec:install

• Generate controller

  • rails generate controller <controller_name>

• Generate model

  • rails generate model <model_name>

• Edit controller test (or don't) inside spec/controllers/ directory

  • vim spec/controllers/*_controller_spec.rb

• Update routes in config/routes.rb

  • get '/jiggy' => 'willenium#dance'

• Add controller actions (methods) model that satisfy controller test

   def dance
   	@jig = Jig.create(jig_params)
   end
   
   private
   
   def jig_params
   	params.require(:jig).permit(:style, :level)
   end
