Restful Rails 1.2

One of the coolest new features of Rails 1.2 is the RESTful routing. In
particular, the new scaffold_resource generator makes it really easy
to mockup a basic resource-oriented web app with trivial amounts
of code. Check it out.

# rails
1.2.1

# mongrel
1.0.1

$ rails
restful

$ cd
!$

$ script/generate scaffold_resource
Entry title:string content:text
published:date

# can now specify fields as
part of the generator

$ mate
config/database.yml

development:

adapter: sqlite3

dbfile:
db/restful_development.db

$ rake
db:migrate # note new syntax!

$
script/server -d

$ open
http://0.0.0.0:3000/entries/

$ curl
http://0.0.0.0:3000/entries/1.xml #automatic
formats

$ curl -I
http://0.0.0.0:3000/entries/1.xml # note Content-Type.
