Release 0.4.7
0.4.7 is a MUST have release. It fixes a few good bugs, like the ability to upload files now works! Plus it introduces a few nice little goodies.
File uploads are now pretty easy to do. There’s a new Mack::Request::UploadedFile that helps to wrap the Hash that Rack gives you when you upload a file. Here’s a simple example of it being used:
class UploadsController < Mack::Controller::Base  def create  @my_new_file = request.file(:my_new_file)  @my_new_file.save_to([MACK_PUBLIC, "uploaded_files", @my_new_file.file_name])  end end
That’s it! That’s all you need to upload a file! I’m going to add file uploads to the blog demo over the next few days.
You can now do ‘namespaced’ routes, such as Admin::UserController. You can very simply map them in your routes.rb as:
r.resource "admin/users"
There’s now a new rake task, generator:list, that shows all the generators available to your app.
Darsono Sutedja gets the prize for being the first person, other than myself, to contribute to Mack. Thanks a ton Darsono! It’s much appreciated.
All of the generators now use the Genosaurus generator system. Not really that exciting, but it makes for a nice, cleaner code base.
There’s a few other things in there as well. The changelog below has a few more things. Enjoy!
Changelog:
- Added Mack::Request::UploadFile class to make dealing with file uploads easy.
- Fixed bug where if a controller didn’t exist it wasn’t checking the public directory.

- Namespaced resourced routes, such as Admin::UserController, now work.
- Added rake generator:list task to list all the available generators.
- scaffold generator now creates a stub functional test.
- model generator now creates a stub unit test.
- Rake tasks in plugins now show up in the Rake tasks list.
- All generators, including the ‘mack’ binary are now using Genosaurus.
- [dsutedja] initializer will load MACK_APP/controllers/default_controller.rb if it exists
- [dsutedja] added link_image_to and image_tag to html helper.
