UIStory needs a Procedure to guide it, and story listens to Procedure's events of proceed and complete .
It is UIStory to expose proceedNext method for client to call. While UI will have "next" button to proceed the procedure, too.  

UIStory has a JXUIVCFactory_ProcedureStep .

VCFactory will createVC, setObject:intoVC, and getObject:fromVC, according to step.

Since the kinds of steps are currently limited, the VC types to be used are limited too, therefore manually manageable. 

JXModel_ProcedureStep_ObjectPart_Attribute --- JXUITVDSD_NSArray_Selection (or JXUITVDSD_NSArray_Selection__allowsAddSimpleTextOptions)

Do you know, you can access your own rails website on /rails/info/routes , under development environment?

The working house is shown below.

https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/info_controller.rb

In turn, ActionDispatch::Routing::RoutesInspector is the real hero. Linked below.

Customizing a model object's JSON representation, first of all, is a business of ActiveRecord::Serialization. You will look at ActiveModel::Serializers::JSON class


https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activemodel/lib/active_model/serializers/json.rb

and then will come back to ActiveModel::Serialization class

I am developing for iOS and RoR. For date time issue, I feel lucky, since both works with ISO 8601. 

By default, Rails 4 returns ISO 8601 format as json output.

On iOS, you should have date format as @"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZZZ"



See http://developer.github.com/v3/ (search "ISO")

Rails Plugin

With my experience with Rails 4.0.5 so far, to my own naivety, I found that the error message displayed in form is different from the normal Rails app. The root cause is that 'scaffold.css' is not included.

Code generated by scaffold

<div class="field">
 <%= f.label :password %><br>

<%= f.password_field :password %>
