Rails Recipes

Rails Recipes ... has got some very appetizing recipes. However, I have
a hard time starting. For example, the very first recipe,
InPlaceEditing, how and where do I run this code to create the table?

Thanks!

class AddContactsTable < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table :contacts do |t|
t.column :name, :string
t.column :email, :string
t.column :phone, :string
t.column :address_line1, :string
t.column :address_line2, :string
t.column :city, :string
t.column :state, :string
t.column :country, :string
t.column :postal_code, :string
end
end

def self.down
drop_table :contacts
end
end

Hi kublaikha.

Rails questions usually get re-directed to the rails mailing list.
However, as I'm reading this book myself, and I faced exactly the same
problem...

This is a feature of rails called migrations. You can find a good
tutorial at:
http://glu.ttono.us/articles/2005/10/27/the-joy-of-...

Once that has whetted your appetite, you can check out the
ActiveRecord::Migrations docs at
http://rubyonrails.org/api/classes/ActiveRecord/Migr....

Cheers.

script/generate migration add_contracts_table
....
...
there will be file created db/migrations/<No>_add_contracts_table
Put it into this file and run:
$ rake migrate
