• ChapterXX/recipe-N/ — Contains the source code for Recipe N in Chapter XX.

• Each recipe-N folder contains two subfolders:

  • begin/: Starting state before the recipe is applied
  • end/: Final state after following the steps in the recipe

Each recipe folder also includes its own README.md with setup instructions and comparison tips.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Ruby-on-Rails-Web-development-cookbook.git
   cd rails-cookbook-code

2. Navigate to the recipe you want to try, for example:

   cd Chapter02/recipe-6/begin

3. Follow the instructions in the local README.md file inside the recipe-N folder to run the app.

🧪 Comparing begin and end

Each recipe demonstrates the full change in code. To compare before/after:

diff -r begin/ end/

Or visually (if using VS Code):

code --diff begin end
