ExtjsScaffold
Rails 3.2 Scaffold generator for Extjs 4.1
Usage
Install
1) Add pagination gem to Gemfile
gem "kaminari"
or
gem "will_paginate", "~> 3.0.0"
2) Install Sencha Extjs 4 into public
public/extjs
3) Add Extjs to app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
<html>
<head>
<title>TestApp</title>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "/extjs/resources/css/ext-all.css" %>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "application" %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "/extjs/ext-all-debug.js" %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
<%= csrf_meta_tags %>
</head>
<body>
<%= yield %>
</body>
</html>
4) Add Extjs MVC structure app/assets/javascripts/application.js
//= require_self
//= require_tree ./ux
//= require_tree ./util
//= require_tree ./model
//= require_tree ./store
//= require_tree ./view
//= require_tree ./controller
//= require_tree .
5) Run the install generator
rails generate extjs_scaffold:install
Which will create an Extjs application file and the scaffold ux files. By default the application file and the application name are set to the rails app name.
These can be customized using the --file-name and --app-name class options
rails generate extjs_scaffold:install --file-name=ExtjsApp --app-name=TestApp
or
rails generate extjs_scaffold:install -n=ExtjsApp -a=TestApp
Scaffold
rails generate extjs_scaffold:scaffold widget name:string
rake db:migrate
Class Options
If the file or app name were customized during the install, they must be passed into the scaffold generator:
rails generate extjs_scaffold:scaffold widget name:string -n=ExtjsApp -a=TestApp
Reference field lookups default to a 'name' field in the parent table. This can be customized by setting the --reference_fields option:
rails generate extjs_scaffold:scaffold widget category:references name:string --reference_fields category:category_type
Which would look for a 'category_type' field in the category table
Pagination defaults to Kaminari. To use Will Paginate, set the --pagination option:
rails generate extjs_scaffold:scaffold widget name:string --pagination=will_paginate
Views support erb (default) and haml
Controller tests for TestUnit and Rspec are generated
ORM is generated using Rails::Generators::ScaffoldGenerator and then injected with additional methods
