Rails - Jun 2006 - markaby

What''s the current status of Markaby? I''ve played with it a
bit and
love it and am considering using it for a large project I''m starting.

If you''ve used it, I''d love to hear your comments!

Jamie

Think the status is good.
Last message from them was at 22. of may and they were talking about
the new trunk.
http://redhanded.hobix.com/
script/plugin install http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/svn/markaby/trunk

Personally thinking about using it in my current project.

Might be worth asking around the camping community

  http://camping.rubyforge.org/files/README.html

they use it more, as it''s the default renderer for Camping.

#camping on freenode, i think. Not sure if they have a mailing list.

Sure. It might be a while though. I''m letting it sit a few days at  
least while I get the prototype (in ERb) into shape for the next  
phase of the project.

I think writing in a builder syntax like Markaby rocks. I really  
dislike all the angle brackets--which I didn''t realize until
I''d
translated a few pages of a home project into Markaby. There''s a lot  
less meaningless noise in Markaby files than RHTML files.

Just redid my project in markaby. Must say that everything looks a lot
better. And it took me under an hour to rewrite a total of 30 pages.

I still have my master layout in erb as it is better for if I need a
designer to redo something on the page. But It''s so nice to be able to
think in pure ruby instead of jumping between HTML and Ruby and mixing
an matching. And I just found that I was making a lot less of errors
than before.

Just how clean is this?

Yeah, I agree. I got turned on to the builder syntax after looking at  
some Seaside code. Markaby is even better b/c you don''t have the
prefix.

Have you encountered any "gotchas" or issues? Anything you''re
not
happy about that you''ve had to work around?

I agree that leaving the layout as rhtml is a good idea.

Not much. The input tag was not working. Never got it to work really.
And the lack of documentations meant that I never found out what was
wrong. So I used the tag! instad.
  tag! :input, :type => "hidden", :id => "tag_with",
:name =>
"tag_with", :value => @post_tags
Mabey it was because I was using Rails''s start_form_tag and trying to
use Markabys input tag. Anyway it''s good to have the tag! for
emergency.

Helpers come out as text if used as a parameter. So if you type:
  p some_helper(@values)
Any HTML the helper outputs would be converted into &gt; &lt; tags.
Instead you must type:
p do
  some_helper(@values)
end

thanks... I think you''re problem is that it''s
"text_field", not input:


p do
   label "Name", :for => "laptop_name"
   text_field ''laptop'', ''name''
end

Is working for me

Sorry... I was confusing the helper with the markaby for input.
