Create New Rails Application with MongoDB

By -
Create a New Rails Application with MongoDB
# Use sudo if your setup requires it
gem install rails
 
Create New Rails Application by skipping the Active Record 
rails new awesome_app --skip-active-record 
 
This is the gem file and the list of the required gems for MongoDB

require 'rubygems'
require 'mongo'

source :rubygems

gem 'mongo_mapper'
gem 'rails', '3.0.3'
gem 'devise', '1.1.3'
gem 'devise-mongo_mapper',
  :git    => 'git://github.com/collectiveidea/devise-mongo_mapper'

group :test, :development do
  [whatever testing gems you want in here]
end
 
 
Then Run bundle install to install all the gems mentioned in the gem file. 
 
$ bundle install
 
There's two initializer files we'll need. We add the one for mongo,  which I put in config/initializers/mongo.rb: 
# config/initializers/mongodb.rb

include MongoMapper

db_config = YAML::load(File.read(File.join(Rails.root, "/config/mongodb.yml")))

if db_config[Rails.env] && db_config[Rails.env]['adapter'] == 'mongodb'
  mongo = db_config[Rails.env]
  MongoMapper.connection = Mongo::Connection.new(mongo['host'] || 'localhost',
                                                 mongo['port'] || 27017,
                                                :logger => Rails.logger)
  MongoMapper.database = mongo['database']
  
  if mongo['username'] && mongo['password']
    MongoMapper.database.authenticate(mongo['username'], mongo['password'])
  end
end
 
 
This is the Structure of the Mongodb.yml file. 
 

# config/mongodb.yml



base: &base



  adapter: mongodb



  database: coolapp



#These are needed to authenticate with your db



#should it run on another server



  host: genesis.mongohq.com



  username: your-username



  password: your-password

development:


  <<: *base

test:


  <<: *base

  database: coolapp-test




production:


  <<: *base

Inserting and Moving elements inside Ruby Array

By -
Here's is an array with 5 elements 2.1.2 :001 > arr = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"] => ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"] Lets look at few different cases Insert a new element at starting position Using unshift 2.1.2 :002 > arr.unshift("f") => ["f", "a", "b", "c", "d", "e"] Using insert 2.1.2 :005 > arr.insert(0, "f") => ["f", "a", "b", "c", "d", "e"] In the above example 0 is the position(index) Move existing element from one position to another The element in this case is "e" Using uniq to show only unique elements 2.1.2 :009 > arr.insert(0, "e").uniq => ["e", "a", "b", "c", "d"] With uniq we are only showing unique records but the element is listed

Remove duplicates from a JavaScript Array

By -
In JavaScript, you may combine the indexOf() method and the filter() method to get rid of duplicates from an array function removeDuplicates(arr) { return arr.filter((el, index) => arr.indexOf(el) === index); } let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5]; let uniqueNumbers = removeDuplicates(numbers); console.log(uniqueNumbers); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] The removeDuplicates() function in this code accepts an array as an argument and produces a new array that is empty of duplicates. This is accomplished by creating a new array with the filter() method that only contains elements that are unique within the original array. A callback function is provided as an argument to the filter() method, which is used to filter each element of the array. By comparing the current element's index to the output of executing indexOf() on the original array, the callback function determines if the current element exists only once in the array. The element is added to the new array if the two indices a

Sending Binary Data over the Network with Json

By -
First, you need to open the file. Since the file is binary, you have to open it with an additional “b” flag. Here i am sending a zip file f = File.open("path/myzip.zip", "rb")   Next, you have to do binary-to-text encoding on the binary file because the JSON will complain if you try to feed it a binary string. To overcome this obstacle, you need to apply Base64 encoding. file_content = Base64.b64encode(f.read())   After you have a text representation of the data, you can then use JSON to package it, you can use to_json to convert in to json {:file=>file_content}.to_json In your  Rails application you can do this like render :layout=>false , :json => {:file=> file_content}.to_json
