Extensible layout --- Expose how we render the HTML _surrounding_ rich text content as an extensible `layouts/action_text/contents/_content.html.erb` template to encourage user-land customizations, while retaining private API control over how the rich text itself is rendered by moving the `#render_action_text_content` helper invocation to the `action_text/contents/_content.html.erb` partial. Extensible Attachable `#to_attachable_partial_path` --- When an application declares a canonical partial for a record, there is no way to override which partial is used when transformed to Rich Text. For example, a default `Person < ApplicationRecord` instance returns `"people/person"` from calls to `#to_partial_path`, resulting in the `app/views/people/_person.html.erb` partial being rendered. Prior to this change, when encountering an `<action-text-attachment sgid="...">` element, ActionText retrieved the corresponding `Attachable` instance (usually an `ActiveRecord::Base` instance) and transformed it to rich text HTML by rendering the partial that corresponds to its `#to_partial_path`. This proposed change instead invokes `Attachable#to_attachable_partial_path`. By default, `#to_attachable_partial_path` is an alias for `#to_partial_path`. Guides --- Extend the `guides/action_text_overview` document to describe how to customize these templates, and to better illustrate how ActionText::Attachable instances are rendered into HTML. |

Welcome to Rails
What's Rails?
Rails is a web-application framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern.
Understanding the MVC pattern is key to understanding Rails. MVC divides your application into three layers: Model, View, and Controller, each with a specific responsibility.
Model layer
The Model layer represents the domain model (such as Account, Product,
Person, Post, etc.) and encapsulates the business logic specific to
your application. In Rails, database-backed model classes are derived from
ActiveRecord::Base. Active Record allows you to present the data from
database rows as objects and embellish these data objects with business logic
methods.
Although most Rails models are backed by a database, models can also be ordinary
Ruby classes, or Ruby classes that implement a set of interfaces as provided by
the Active Model module.
Controller layer
The Controller layer is responsible for handling incoming HTTP requests and
providing a suitable response. Usually, this means returning HTML, but Rails controllers
can also generate XML, JSON, PDFs, mobile-specific views, and more. Controllers load and
manipulate models, and render view templates in order to generate the appropriate HTTP response.
In Rails, incoming requests are routed by Action Dispatch to an appropriate controller, and
controller classes are derived from ActionController::Base. Action Dispatch and Action Controller
are bundled together in Action Pack.
View layer
The View layer is composed of "templates" that are responsible for providing appropriate representations of your application's resources. Templates can come in a variety of formats, but most view templates are HTML with embedded Ruby code (ERB files). Views are typically rendered to generate a controller response or to generate the body of an email. In Rails, View generation is handled by Action View.
Frameworks and libraries
Active Record, Active Model, Action Pack, and Action View can each be used independently outside Rails. In addition to that, Rails also comes with Action Mailer, a library to generate and send emails; Action Mailbox, a library to receive emails within a Rails application; Active Job, a framework for declaring jobs and making them run on a variety of queuing backends; Action Cable, a framework to integrate WebSockets with a Rails application; Active Storage, a library to attach cloud and local files to Rails applications; Action Text, a library to handle rich text content; and Active Support, a collection of utility classes and standard library extensions that are useful for Rails, and may also be used independently outside Rails.
Getting Started
-
Install Rails at the command prompt if you haven't yet:
$ gem install rails -
At the command prompt, create a new Rails application:
$ rails new myappwhere "myapp" is the application name.
-
Change directory to
myappand start the web server:$ cd myapp $ bin/rails serverRun with
--helpor-hfor options. -
Go to
http://localhost:3000and you'll see: "Yay! You’re on Rails!" -
Follow the guidelines to start developing your application. You may find the following resources handy:
