Ello API

Ello API

This is a basic exploration of the Ello API. Completely unofficial, your mileage my vary, don't smash their servers as they are likely very busy.

Methods return HTML for their representation where appropriate which is a nice little pattern. Everything returns application/json.

Like this:

A simple, made-up example of the code for a simple AngularJS blog viewer as a more detailed exploration of http://benhollis.net/blog/2014/01/17/cleanly-declaring-angularjs-services-with-coffeescript/ . Yes, I know about `$resource`, but I prefer not to use it.
app = angular.module 'BlogExample', []
# Simple controller that loads all blog posts
app.controller 'BlogCtrl', ['$scope', 'Blog', ($scope, Blog) ->
# Get all the blog posts
Blog.all().then (posts) ->
$scope.posts = posts
# Extend the $scope with our own properties, all in one big block
# I like this because it looks like declaring a class.

Simple wrapper over arel
require 'active_record'
require 'arel'
# Ruby-like syntax in AR conditions using the underlying Arel layer (Rails >= 3.0).
#
# What you would usually write like this:
#
# User.where(["users.created_at > ? AND users.name LIKE ?", Date.yesterday, "Mary"])
#
# can now be written like this (note those parentheses required by the operators precedences):

stream7 / migration_integer_limit_option
Created July 7, 2011 14:09
Rails migrations integer :limit option
literally always have to look up the meaning of :limit in migrations when it comes to integer values. Here's an overview. Now let's memorise it (oh, this works for MySQL, other databases may work differently):
:limit Numeric Type Column Size Max value
1 tinyint 1 byte 127
2 smallint 2 bytes 32767
3 mediumint 3 byte 8388607
nil, 4, 11 int(11) 4 byte 2147483647
5..8 bigint 8 byte 9223372036854775807
Note: by default MySQL uses signed integers and Rails has no way (that I know of) to change this behaviour. Subsequently, the max. values noted are for signed integers.
