Example app for Hot Glue 0.6.0 Here's how this app was built:

bin/rails generate model Author first_name:string last_name:string
bin/rails generate model Book author_id:integer title:string

next, install the global typeahead tools bin/rails generate hot_glue:typeahead_install

next, generate a scaffold for the authors bin/rails generate hot_glue:scaffold Author --gd --smart-layout

next, generate a scaffold for the books and modify the author_id into a type ahead: bin/rails generate hot_glue:scaffold Book --modify='author_id{typeahead}' --gd --smart-layout

Notice this gives us an important warning message:

WARNING: you specified --modify=author_id{typeahead} but there is no file at `app/controllers/authors_typeahead_controller.rb`

It instructs us to do this:

bin/rails generate hot_glue:typeahead Author

As well as the above, I created methods name on both Book and Author, and added to the config/routes.rb file

Setup

You do not do the steps above, they are just written out to demonstrate what I did to build the app.

After you db:create & db:migrate, you should seed this database using the data migrator:

bin/rails data:migrate this will create 100 random author names and 1000 random books.

Node + Ruby versions are in .node-version and .ruby-version, respectively.
