Topic: HOWTO: Tutorial and Example App for Rails 3 + Mongoid + Devise

I've put together an example application that demonstrates Mongoid and Devise working together on Rails 3.

Mongoid is for data storage (alternative to SQL databases). Devise is for authentication (alternative to RESTful authentication or Authlogic).

It's on GitHub:

rails3-mongoid-devise example app

There's a step-by-step tutorial on the wiki that shows how to build it.

There's also an application template generator so anyone can use the example as a beginning point for a new Rails app.

Right now (24 June 2010) it requires:
* ruby (version 1.8.7 or 1.9.2)
* rails (version 3.0.0.beta4)
* mongoid (version 2.0.0.beta7)
* bson_ext (version 1.0.1)
* devise (version 1.1.rc2)

There are options to use Haml and Heroku as well.

The example app and tutorial is now part of the Rails Apps project on GitHub:

There are options to use RSpec, Cucumber, jQuery, Haml, and Heroku as well.

Have you tried Rails Installer? Everything you need to hit the ground running with Windows.

The tutorials at the Rails Apps project on GitHub are an open source, community effort so any changes you can offer to get them working on Windows will be welcome. Post to the GitHub issues if you need help.
