Dictionary • RIA = Rich Internet Applications • JS = JavaScript • Sencha = Tea & RIA JS framework ExtJS • Netzke = Rails marries Sencha by @nomadcoder
Why Sencha? • Best RIA framework (personal oppinion) • Cross platform & consistent architecture • Examples & documentation • Maintained by a company • sencha.com
Why Netzke? • Clean Rails-Sencha interface • Pre-fabricated componentents • You don't have to write it yourself • Maintained & documented • Small user group • netzke.org
Where? • Relational data structure • Many actions per view • Conservative end user Reporting, ERP, accounting, admin backends, desktop / Excel replacement etc.
Why Hate It? • Steep learning curve • Mixing server and client side You'll use Firebug a lot...
Most Simple Example
Start Extjs--> public/extjs famfamfam_silk_icons --> images/ icons Gemﬁle gem 'netzke-core' application.html.XXX gem 'netzke-basepack' <head> <%= csrf_meta_tag %> <%= netzke_init %> routes.rb </head> netzke
Finish rails g model Person name:string mail:.. rails g controller Welcome index bundle install rake db:migrate rails s index.html.XXX <%= netzke :person, :class_name => "Basepack::GridPanel", :model => "Person" %>
WAITING FOR THE http://localhost:3000/welcome/index
rails g model Company name:string rake db:migrate Person belongs_to :company index.html.XXX <%= netzke :person, :class_name => "Basepack::GridPanel", :model => "Person", :columns => [:name, :mail, :company__name] %> <%= netzke :company, :class_name => "Basepack::GridPanel", :model => "Company" %>
class CustomActionGrid < GridPanel action :show_map, :text => "Show Map" def default_bbar [:show_map.action, "-", *super] end def default_context_menu [:show_map.action, "-", *super] end js_method :on_show_map, <<-JS function(){alert("Map");} JS end
