Ruby Variable Scope

Welcome Folk,

Scope determines whether or not we have access to these variables from inside classes, methods, and other coded structures and we'll talk more about it once we introduce those structures, but it's kind of hard to show you examples when right now we only have our global scope to look at. So what we've been using so far are local variables, ones where we have nothing in front of it, and all you really need to know for now is that variable names can begin with the $ sign or the @ the front of it in order to give it different scopes. So, $ sign in front of it would give it global scope.

Putting two @ signs in front of it makes it a class variable. Putting one @ sign in front of it, it becomes an instance variable and you'll be working with these later on. For now, just know that these are all legitimate ways that you can name your variable in Ruby.

How to solve migration issues with rails

Greetings friends!!! Migrations make managing your database schema easy, however, problems often occur when we're running our migrations and run into a bug in our migration code. It can leave your migrations in a broken state where you can't migrate up and you can't migrate down. It's important to learn how this happens and how to resolve these problems when they occur.

Perform migration to version 0. This will rollback all migrations. Comment all above code inside migration having an issue.

Run rails db:migrate again  Verify that it shows success and double check with the database too, If it showing migration error perform step 1 to 5 till it shows the success. Uncomment your code and yo...

ActiveRecords and ActiveRelation

Good to see you, Geek!!! This blog page will help you to understand ActiveRecord and ActiveRelation. ActiveRecord and ActiveRelation are part of the Rails framework that's going to power your models. So before you begin coding on your models get a big picture understanding of how they work.  Active Record Active record, when it's written all lowercase as two separate words refer to a commonly used design pattern for working with relational databases. It's not Rail specific. You could use the active record pattern in any programming language. It's an approach to designing object-oriented software.  ActiveRecord, when it's written as one word with a capital A and R, refers to the Rails implementation of the active record pattern. Often you can use the terms interchangeably but it's helpful to understand the context and to know the difference. The ActiveRecord design pattern allows you to retrieve database data as objects. And then to wor...

CRUD Basics

Greetings of the day!!! In this article,   you will see several concepts   which are important for the design of Rails applications.   These concepts will affect the way that we work with URLs,   how we write controller code,   and how our controllers manage our models and database data.   We're gonna start by talking about the concept of CRUD.   Let's begin with reviewing the MVC web architecture diagram.   You must learned how to use controllers and views   to create dynamic pages and return them back to the browser.   Next, learned to interact   with the database by creating models and associations. MVC Architecture And worked with those, not from a browser,   but via the Rails console would be feasible.   Now, we need to put the two together   and learn how to work with the models   inside our controllers.   Then we'll be able to manipulate   our database data from the browser, ...
