Inroduction to the Platform :
- The RailsBlog is built upon the Paiza Cloud Platform.
- Sign up for the mentioned cloud service.
- On the free plan we can use the server / container (we will be creating) for 24 hours after which the server will be restored.
- Also the server gets suspended after 240 minutes of usuage.
- So the free plan is more than enough if we can patiently built the project within the stipulated period.
Alternative Platforms :
- AWS Cloud9 is another popular cloud-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
Letās get started :
Create a Blank Rails App -
- After signing up to the cloud service with the credentials (mail or username and password) create a new server.
- Then go to the terminal and create a blank rails app using the following command :
rails new blog
āblogā will be the name of our application.
The dependencies will take some minutes to install.
Changing the database engineās version to the required version -
- Inside the main Rails folder āblogā , there will be āgemfileā
- Inside that file replace the following line :
gem 'sqlite3'with
gem 'sqlite3', '1.3.13'
- Also make sure that the Autosave box is checked.
After making changes in the gemfile , enter the following commands in the terminal to update and install the specified version of dependencies :
cd blog
bundle install
bundle update
Activating the Server :
The server can be activated by any one of the following commands :
rails server -b $IP -p $PORT
or
rails server
or
rails s
Creating Blog Posts
rails generate scaffold Post title:string body:text
Rails will create a bunch of folders with functionalities in the app directory.
Modifying Database
rake db:migrate
Restarting the server
rails s -b $IP -p $PORT
The database thus gets modified so that we can store blog posts.
