ExtJS and Rails examples

There seem to be some efforts regarding plugins for Rails and Ext JS. Here are the ones I know of: * Toolbawks Ext (seems to be an installation helper): http://svn.toolbawks.com/toolbawks_extjs/trunk/INSTALL * Ext plugin (providing controller methods to generate Ext components - not sure whether this is being actively developed, support for Ext 2.0 seems to be coming in the future?): http://wota.jp/ac/?date=20070406 * An "Experiment" providing Rails helpers for Ext JS, looks abandoned as code is no longer around: http://extonrails.com/

I recently played with Ext and Rails myself and documented the effort here: http://inside.glnetworks.de/2008/01/08/ext-js-and-rails-how-do-they-get-along/

This demonstrates basic solutions for Rails integration and features a "soon-to-be-announced" Ext Scaffold Generator plugin for Rails - a preview version is available on Rubyforge: http://rug-b.rubyforge.org/svn/ext_scaffold

This site is mine. I wrote a rather extensive ruby wrapper framework for Ext1.0 which I scrapped when Ext2.0 was released. new features, especially improved component-based architecture and better rendering rendered my framework obsolete. I've since changed my pattern somewhat but I've recently teamed up with another guy from http://www.extjswithrails.com and I've been working on my own blog lately and created a few new google code projects.

see my blog for links to these projects http://www.extonrails.com
