In Ruby 2.4, BigDecimal(), as used by the Decimal cast, was changed so
that it will raise ArgumentError when passed an invalid string, in order
to be more consistent with Integer(), Float(), etc. The other numeric
types use ex. to_i and to_f.
Unfortunately, we can't simply change BigDecimal() to to_d. String#to_d
raises errors like BigDecimal(), unlike all the other to_* methods (this
should probably be filed as a ruby bug).
Instead, this simulates the existing behaviour and the behaviour of the
other to_* methods by finding a numeric string at the start of the
passed in value, and parsing that using BigDecimal().

Welcome to 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, each with a specific responsibility.
The Model layer represents your domain model (such as Account, Product,
Person, Post, etc.) and encapsulates the business logic that is 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. You can read more about Active Record in its README.
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. You can read more about Active Model in its README.
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. You can read more about Action Pack in its
README.
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. You can read more about Action View in its README.
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 (README), a library to generate and send emails; Active Job (README), a framework for declaring jobs and making them run on a variety of queueing backends; Action Cable (README), a framework to integrate WebSockets with a Rails application; and Active Support (README), 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 $ rails serverRun with
--helpor-hfor options. -
Using a browser, 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:
