*To test out the framework, clone the directory and navigate to it in your terminal. Then run:
ruby bin/test_server.rb
This will set up a WEBrick server listening on port 3000. Finally, navigate in your web broswer of choice to localhost:3000.
A clone of Rails, the popular application development framework.
Much of the work on this project was done with the guidance and assistance of App Academy's top-notch instructurs. But the following features were built up from scratch, all by my lonesome!
##Bonus Features:
- Consolidation of files into an intuitive structure.
- System files are located in the 'lib' directory, and execution files are located in the 'bin' directory. Subject to change.
- The Flash
- for quick and easy errors/notices!
- messages are stored on a cookie and wiped on subsequent requests.
- CSRF protection.
- via an authenticity token stored on the session cookie.
- Functional URL Helpers
- Uses Ruby metaprogramming to defined a custom URL helper method on a controller whenever a new route is called.
- ActiveRecord
- the largest addition; allows Rails models to interact and fetch dynamically from a SQLite database.
- SQLObjects (similar to ActiveRecord::Base) can persist to the database via instance methods, and can be fetched via the "all" and "where" methods.
- Heavy use Ruby metaprogramming and custom SQL queries.
- IN PROGRESS: Implementation of a Relation class which allows method calls to be chained.
###To-Do
- Completion of the ActiveRecord Relation, with chainable #where and #includes methods.
- a routes.rb file which automatically writes routes.
- URL Helpers and URLHelper module.
- link_to and button_to helpers.
- support for rendering partials.
- nested routing.
