Demo rails 4 app for ember-bootstrap-rails gem, showing off how to use the helpers included :)

Welcome to Ember Bootstrap Rails Demo app

This app will demonstrate using ember-bootstrap-rails

The application will be built almost entirely using the bootstrap helpers.

The top bar will contain a menu where you can navigate to each page, demonstrating the various bootstrap Views and Handlebars helpers.

Important

Please help out with this demo app and the ember-bootstrap-rails library!

Fork it, fix/improve it and make a pull request :)

Thanks!

The steps involved

0. Adjust application.rb

We only need the following!

require "action_controller/railtie"
require "action_mailer/railtie"
require "sprockets/railtie"

We add some Sweet routing macros using a routing.rb initializer. Sweet!

Note: We could also use the sweet_routing gem

1. Add route to 'root' page at 'application#index'
2. Adjust application layout file (empty body - will be filled by Ember.js)
3. Add index.html file that contains script with app initialization

For Rails 4:

Remove config/initializers/wrap_parameters.rb

Adjust environment files.

Remove whiny_nils, config.eager_load = false and add config.ember.variant = :development

Install Ember.js

We like ember with coffee ;)

rails g ember:bootstrap -g --javascript-engine coffee

Change filename of <my_app>.js.coffee to just app.js.coffee.

Convert //= require to #= require in app.js.coffee

Change name of ember Application namespace :)

MyApp = Ember.Application.create(); becomes simply window.App = Ember.Application.create()

To setup testing we will use Konacha and Sinon.

To see Konacha live in action, check out this video. AWESOME!

We use the ember-konacha-rails gem.

We also have RubyJS via rubyjs-rails. We wanna make our coffee even sweeter, yet stronger!

To make it all extra delicious, we add slim for templating the index page. We also spice up with Emblem js via emblem-rails to replace the default Handlebars templating on the Ember side ;)

Nice!

Setup testing environment

Options first!

rails g ember_konacha:install --help

Let's install Konacha testing environment!

rails g ember_konacha:install --guide
