Ionic + Rails

This is code to accompany a screencast about making Rails and Ionic play nicely together.

Getting started

Create a folder to hold both sides of the app

mkdir ionic-rails
cd ionic-rails

Rails

Perform these steps from within the ionic-rails folder you created.

Create the Rails project

rails new server
cd server

Add rack-cors to the Gemfile

gem 'rack-cors'

Run Bundler to refresh your gem store

bundle install

Enable CORS in config/application.rb

# put this inside the Application class
config.middleware.insert_before 0, "Rack::Cors" do
  allow do
    origins '*'
    resource '*', :headers => :any, :methods => [:get, :post, :options]
  end
end

Create the User scaffold

rails g scaffold user firstname:string lastname:string shirtSize:string vegetarian:boolean

Allow CORS requests to come through in app/controllers/user_controller.rb

protect_from_forgery with: :null_session

(you can also do this in ApplicationController, but that is app-wide and is not a great idea..)

Run the Rails migrations

rake db:migrate

Start the Rails server (in its own terminal)

rails s

Ionic

Perform these steps from within the ionic-rails folder you created.

Bootstrap from Ionic Template

ionic start app https://github.com/bendyworks/ionic-rails-app

Start ionic server

cd app
ionic serve
