Wow, I really like this ResfulX framework... like they read my mind. Check this:
http://wiki.github.com/dima/restfulx/getting-started-with-restfulx-and-ruby-on-rails --- Using YAML to scaffold your Flex + Rails application Scaffolding is a cool way to get started with a Rails (and now Flex) applications quickly. Unfortunately, things tend to become quite cumbersome once you get beyond 5 or so models. You have to individually run scaffolding for each model and then go and edit relationships in both rails and flex code. This approach just doesn’t scale. You might tolerate doing all this manual work for a few models, but what are you going to do when you have to run pretty much the same command 30 or 40 times and then remember how all these things relate to each other? Wouldn’t it be better if you could specify the bulk of your data model in some easy to read file and just run that once? This is basically the intuition behind a generator that comes with restfulx gem. It’s called rx_yaml_scaffold. Now comes the cool stuff. Let’s create a file called db/model.yml that contains the following: project: - name: string - notes: text - start_date: date - end_date: date - completed: boolean - belongs_to: [user] - has_many: [tasks] location: - name: string - notes: text - belongs_to: [user] - has_many: [tasks] --- This is exactly what I proposed for the Hobo framework as I also clearly saw this need ;) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hobo Users" group.
