Best Way to Handle the UI Layer Within a Ruby Architecture

Are there some tools like CMS or UI-level frameworks that help in the maintenance and development of the UI layer within Ruby architectures?

I am still learning Ruby but as I understand it, it is very coupled with the front-end, correct?

Thanks, Alex

You can use active_scaffold to get ajaxified crud interface and it can get integrated inside your existing rails app easily.

github.com/activescaffold/active_scaffold/wiki/Getting-Started

You can also use hobo but from I have gathered you need to use it right from the beginning as its generator creates the app.

hobocentral.net/

You can use comatose cms for integrating a basic content management functionality in your existing ror app.

comatose.rubyforge.org/getting-started-01.html

Also if you are looking for something pre-packed with rails then you can use command:

$ rails generate scaffold Post name:string title:string content:text

Command above is specific for rails 3 (in previous version scaffolding was available via ruby script/generate scaffold).

guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html#getting-up-and-running-quickly-with-scaffolding

Hope this helps.

CMS and UI level frameworks are very broad categories that you are talking about. Just to get you started, I will list down some I started with

  1. Nifty-generators
  2. blueprint-css
  3. jquery-rails

I am still learning Ruby but as I understand it, it is very coupled with the front-end, correct?

No, its not very coupled with the front end as you think it is. You can assume Rails(Ruby) as just the back-end that will just send back data and when data has arrived at front-end, its your wish how to present it, format it or whatever you want to do with it.
