ensure mongo and redis servers are running, then run
nodeunit test/generators.coffee
or
npm test
Check out autogenerated tests for controllers, additional nodeunit stubs can be used:
test.redirect '/path'
test.render 'viewName'
test.send 'what'
test.success() # check status 200
test.assign 'memberName'
More stubs coming soon
Now form labels can be localized automatically, just use it as previously:
<% form_for(user, {}, function (form) { %>
<%- form.label('name') %>
<% }); %>
And add translation to locales/en.yml
:
en:
models:
User:
fields:
name: User name
email: Email address
Application can be generated with --tpl
key, for now possibly values are
- jade
- ejs (default)
This list can be extended. Check out packages npm ejs-ext
and jade-ext
if you need to learn how to do it. It easy: just add another lang-ext
package
and install it before running railway g app --tpl lang
- Merge javascripts and stylesheets
- NPM 1.0.6 support (requires
sudo npm link
afterrailway init
) - Filter parameter logging
- CSRF protection (turned on by default)
- Faster server startup (two-stage loading)
Small improvements:
- By default static cache max age is one day
- Merge js and css option turned on in production
- Railway helpers now instantiated per request (localization support can be hooked up now)
- Heroku-friendly app generation for mongo
- Extension API
- Logger support (app.set('quiet', true) now forces logger to log in
log/ENV.log
- Railway common API (almost all existing modules)
- Observers support
Observer is a kind of controller, that listen for some event in the system, for example: paypal, twitter or facebook observers listens for callback from foreign service. Email observer may listen some events related to emails.
If you need app.on('someEvent') you should place this code in
APPROOT/app/observers/NAME_observer.js
Just place your key and cert into config directory, railway will use it.
Default names for keys are tsl.key
and tsl.cert
, but you can store in in another place, in that case just pass filenames to createServer function:
server.js
require('railway').createServer({key: '/tmp/key.pem', cert: '/tmp/cert.pem'});
- npmfile
- Extenstions
- Support (partially) security tokens generation
- Localization in
config/locales/*.yml
- Coffeescript support for models, controllers and initializers
- Disable caching settings:
app.disable('model cache');
andapp.disable('eval cache');
Scaffold generator railway generate scaffold ModelName field1:type1 field2:type2
It generates model, crud controller and appropriated views
Now you can run railway init blog
and railway will create directory structure
within blog
root folder
By default will created file config/database.json
that will force you to use
mongoose driver, feel free to modify it and use redis or mysql (both supported)
Also, running express -t ejs
no longer required
Mongoose driver support
Describe your schema in db/schema.js
, it's just commonjs module which should export
models. For describing logic please use app/models/*.js
files. Every model
described in schema accessible as global object in all models and controllers.
Added features generator for cucumis
. Run railway generate features
, then
you will be able to create features
using Gherkin language, parsed by kyuri.
- CRUD generator
- improved
form_for
helper - binary file bugfixes
- layouts moved to
app/views/layouts
- Rewritten controllers
- Rewritten models
- ORM for mysql, redis, works like datamapper (e.g. one entity -- one object)
