Ext JS on Rails: A ComprehensiveTutorial

Chris Scott — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 16:12:07 +0000

I've had my eyes on Ruby-based ExtJS code-generation tools for a few years now. Back in Ext-1.0 days, I even took a shot at creating a large Rails wrapper framework, mapping Ext UI widgets to plain-old Ruby-objects which could be stored in YAML files and rendered into views. However, with Ext-2.0+ came new ideas which brought many changes to the framework (great new component-model, plugins, xtype, normalized component configuration-objects) and the Rails wrapper framework was rendered immediately obsolete. Until recently, I gave up on auto-generating ExtJS code and concentrated upon writing good Ext plugins and base-classes.
