Submitting AJAX forms in rails

Notes showing different ways to us AJAX forms in Rails. We will use a Todo list as an example domain for the examples.

Lowest level of abstraction

views/lists/index.erb.html This will create the list input form (Note: This should also work in Sinatra)

<% form_for List.new do |f| %>

Rails form_for example

From: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormHelper.html

To create a new person you typically set up a new instance of Person in the PeopleController#new action, @person, and in the view template pass that object to form_for:

<%= form_for @person do |f| %>
  <%= f.label :first_name %>:
  <%= f.text_field :first_name %><br />

  <%= f.label :last_name %>:
  <%= f.text_field :last_name %><br />

Rails Forms

Form_for

  • Most magical form helper in rails
  • form_for is a ruby method into which a ruby object is passed
  • form_for yields a form builder object (typically f)
  • methods to create form controls are called on f, the form builder element
  • when the object is passed as a form_for parameter, it creates corresponding inputs with each of the attributes
    • if i had form_for(@cat), then the form field params would look like cat[name], cat[color], etc
  • in keeping with Rails convention regarding RESTful routes, there should be a resource declared for each model object (eg, resources :cats)

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. 

  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. 

  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. 

  4. In bootstrap-glyphicons.css modify the the `url
    5.

                15 Questions to Ask During a Ruby Interview

When hiring Ruby on Rails programmers, knowing the right questions to ask during an interview was a real challenge for me at first.  In 30 minutes or less, it's difficult to get a solid read on a candidate's skill set without looking at code they've previously written.  And in the corporate/enterprise world, I often don't have access to their previous work.


To ensure we hired competent ruby developers at my last job, I created a list of 15 ruby questions -- a ruby measuring stick if you will -- to select the cream of the crop that walked through our doors.


What to expect


Candidates will typically give you a range of responses based on their experience and personality.  So it's up to you to decide the correctness of their answer.
