## Transcript

what's up welcome back this is episode five in a series where we're building out a short-term vacation rental platform in this episode we're going to use tailwind ui to build out some of our components specifically we're going to update our our login form components and we'll go through and start adding a little bit of style so in order to get started with tailwind css in rails we can say bundle add tailwind css rails and this will add the gem to our gem file and it will install uh it'll also pull down the dependencies from ruby gems then we need to say rails tailwind css colon install and that will actually make a couple different changes and we'll look at those one of them is that it's going to use purge css as part of our production environment and then it'll also update our application html erb to add two new style sheet link tags i'm not actually sure what the deal is with inter font but whatever and then over here we can start up our rails server and then our webpack dev server and we'll be off to the races so here now we can pull up localhost 3000 and all right now our fonts have changed from uh from the default fonts and if we look at for instance like users slash sign up this is a page that looks it looks like uh it hasn't been styled at all so let's take a look at some of the login components let's see login [Music] uh no application ui maybe where is this um sign in and registration cool this looks pretty good or continue with and then we can have google [Music] uh all right i kind of like this one maybe we could have different sort of different uh little images for vacation rentals show up here on the right um i don't know i kind of like that so let's just grab the code i'm going to just copy all of that and open up our application here so when we generated our devise views as part of setting up authentication underneath views now we have devise and there's a whole bunch of different views in here and so i think the view we're looking for now is registration so this is specifically this is for the sign up controller so i'm going to dump all of this html at the top of this page and then i think we need to go into our yeah we need to go to our tailwind config which doesn't exist so uh we need to go somewhere and require tail and css forms maybe i don't know let's just see what happens okay it looks like it just magically worked and looks beautiful and amazing like all tail when things do and so what i think we want to do is just move our form logic from where it is up up to here so let's let's just delete this and then we don't actually need to have a any free trial business here sign in okay so this is for creating a new this is for creating a new account so i think yeah so we'll just say like register or something like that instead of sign in we'll say uh register okay create a new account sign in with facebook this is signed in with facebook we actually want sign in with google and then i think we can remove twitter and github these two divs and now we want to refresh the page now we see just this facebook icon here and so we'll need to figure out how to like actually change the icon it looks like that might actually be an svg yeah okay so it's some sort of svg uh let's just change this so that it says google and then we'll comment out or we'll just delete the svg and now it says google here we can probably get like a google icon or button or something to put inside of there and we want this to only span one column and there should only be i don't know there should be no gaps so let's see okay that looks much better register with and then now we can say register with google or continue with and then email address and password and down here we have email address password and password confirmation so we'll need to add those inputs also so here we've got the password input so we'll copy that and say password confirmation and we're going to need to change what the actual inputs are and so we'll use we'll use some of this content from down below all right so this was again this is the form that was generated for us by devise and so let's um okay and then the shared links situation we'll have to figure out how we want to use that shared how we want to render those shared links because yeah so if it's omni-authorable it's going to like iterate over each of the providers and then link to omni-auth authorized path for the resource name provider and it's a post so i think instead of using this link to um we can actually just remove the shared links and uh add our own link we'll have to take a look and see all right so let's work on let's work on moving these fields these fields up and we'll just write the same html so this is again why i don't like using the ruby forms because you have to go like i don't know there's just a lot of uh there's a lot that you have to understand about the form builders which don't mirror up with anytime you want to use some front-end framework or some other in this cat in this case like a css framework where your ui toolkit i guess um okay so the input is input autofocus autocomplete email value okay so this is the html that we want so edit as html i'm just going to grab the whole thing and then we'll make this our email input and then we'll just use the classes these same classes here and we'll say paste and then we'll remove that email input and now we should have an email input we have an extra dangling closing bracket there all right now we have an email input that should function exactly as it was before uh when it was embedded inside of our device form but now it's part of this beautiful tailwind form uh okay so what else do we need to do here let's do the same thing for password inspect and we'll just say edit as html we'll grab the whole thing come down to password and then dump this in here and then we'll grab the class um and we will put that there and then we'll remove that and then same thing with the password confirmation uh edit as html copy the whole thing dump that down in here grab the class and we should be good to go okay so we've got now email address password password confirmation and a sign in button so this should actually be um register or something uh i guess we had sign up before okay so now we've got all of these covered this is covered oh okay let's see um if at password minimum length we can print out the minimum here uh do we want that do we care about that i don't let's see yeah okay so we were seeing six characters minimum before do we want to show that uh i don't know is there any prior art here i don't think so i think it makes it messier let's just leave it out and then the shared error messages we definitely want those and so let's figure out the best place to plop those maybe right under create a new account uh i'm not sure exactly if this has a div or something so let's we'll go look at that in a moment and then we've got our email field and then we can remove our form uh and then we have these shared links that we have to deal with or figure out um and then we should be good okay so let's take a look at what we've got here so we have a login link didn't receive confirmation instructions didn't receive unlock and sign in with google so let's go over to our shared links shared links and let's remove this sign in with google one after we know what the actual url is so let's inspect this thing and it's slash users slash auth google so let's actually just go back to that google button at the top and say slash user slash yeah let's just make this be slash user slash auth slash google and that should work now so you just click on this link and it should log us in passthrough cannot be found for user's omniauth callback controller interesting uh users off google users off google we might have to mess around with that we'll figure that in a minute okay and then if we go back to here and just okay so that looks good if it's lockable didn't receive unlock instructions new unlock path okay so then we've got to figure out how to put these links on the page so they don't look awful and it looks like we've got your forgot your password situation that looks like a really common construct but not so much on the rest of these so continue with we've got forgot your password maybe we should just put it under forgot your password um so let's see forgot actually one of them is forgot your password so let's just use this um this link to uh so then we want actually let's just yeah we'll set the path here new password path for resource name and i believe that should work so now if we click on forgot your password cool so we're dumped into the password flow and then i wonder if we can just add a couple more in here if that's gonna look bad and okay when we're on the registration page we want to allow people to go to the login page so we can say already registered and make this be the new session path that'll be like a login path let's see how that looks forgot your password already registered that means they're going to like be brought to the login page but what i don't like is i wanted these to be stacked i didn't want them to be justify between oh i see okay so hmm okay so maybe we need to do something like this where we have each of these items and now they're going to be yeah now they're still going to be in line um but we actually want them to be um display block how do we do display block with uh tailwind oh you say block maybe the reason we want display block is so that they're on separate lines so how come yeah block level element space y4 okay so maybe we need another thing space y for let's try that okay cool so now i forgot your password already registered those are okay but this one is being centered vertically now i want them i want this to stay centered or like a line top so items justify between items center i don't know if this is the thing that's doing that or not uh hmm remember me button we've got the check box and actually are we even gonna do remember me was that one of our features uh okay let's let's actually just remove the remember me checkbox and we will remove justify between we're not gonna display block or yeah we're just going to make this a div and try to stack all the items um yeah as blocks so let's see if we can mess around with this so forgot your password already registered let's actually move this down below register also um and yeah so we're basically just going to like render all the same links but we're going to render them pretty and below so now we're we'll just copy these same these same links and we'll continue adding the rest of our shared links so i think it's just these two and so didn't receive confirmation instructions um so yank in quote and then the path is new confirmation path all right and then the last one here is didn't receive unlock instructions okay see how that looks oh all right i think it looks great now we can remove the shared links and uh now we need to fix whatever this issue is with google action passthrough could not be found for the omniauth callbacks controller oh were these post requests oh what method post okay that's interesting yeah so data dash method should give us the method for post magically out of the box so users sign up again click on this button it's sending a post request okay so now we are now we're logged in uh okay so then if we log back out logged out successfully users sign up if we sign up for a new account here wave 4 at cgi.dev password password register no route matches users sign up okay so we don't have we haven't actually wrapped this whole thing in a form yet so we need to do that okay so we don't need to sign in with google bit but we do need the rest of this so oh here's our form action here so this is going to be to oh gosh where's this going to be to so this is uh okay the beauty of git is we can say git diff for registrations new and this will tell us that this was going to the registration path for resource name so we'll open back up registration new and form action is going to be this thing all right so we want to come back over here refresh our page and try signing back in wave 4 at cgi dev password password click register invalid authenticity token ah so we need to have the authenticity token which is going to be a hidden input and this is going to have the name is going to be authenticity token and the value is going to be form this is a form authenticity token and i think that should give us what we're looking for so let's take a look at the html that was rendered back and we see this authenticity token that's injected and it has the value there so let's try this one last time wave 4 5 cgib.dev okay we click register all right now we are registered we can confirm our account confirm my account and now we're brought to the login page where we can hopefully log in with wave4 at cjcjaf.dev cool we're signed in successfully and everything is looking good great so let's also um i think you can sort of extrapolate how you would style the um the login page so i'm just gonna do that quickly it's basically gonna be the same exact thing um and so i'm gonna plow through that so you don't have to to watch the same all the same stuff so let's let's go style the login page now for this remember me field okay so the name is user remember me so for the input we need to make sure this says user remember me and then for forgot password let's actually move all of these links again down below they'll be all the same links except uh we don't need to add the already registered one because they're gonna they're assuming they're gonna log in so we wanna instead add a need to register okay okay and then the last bit here is errors i think so if we say sign in right now uh in the authenticity token okay so if we try to sign in without a password and we click sign in we see invalid email or password way up here uh but we want that to be probably underneath sign in to your account so why don't we yeah let's put this inside of this div maybe let's see no okay so it's still ending up ah right okay so this is actually the devise errors that are at the very very top that are being rendered at the very top of application controller um so our application html erb right remember that when we first installed uh yeah when we first installed device it asked us to add these to application html erb and so what i think we want to do is let's see what does devise errors actually show if there's any errors then it looks like it renders out these messages here error explanation okay but these two are being they're also being rendered here so let's add let's add a new shared and we'll call it um notices.html.erb and let's move this this uh these into notices to a shared notices thing oops so that we can install it on each page wherever we want to so now if we go back to um session new here we can say devise shared error messages and also shared notices and we can refresh the page sign in without any password and okay so now we're seeing invalid email or password that's great and in our shared notices thing we've got an alert and we've got a notice we can probably style those with tailwind so let's look for alert or something let's see if there's alerts over here maybe alerts cool um that looks nice this all look oh look at that it's even about a password okay um with an accent border i don't know do we like the accent border do we like the dismiss button i think that requires some javascript probably i kind of just like this one i don't know um so i'm just going to grab some of this here and then come and add these into our both notice and alert we'll just drop them into both i think notice is supposed to be green and alert is supposed to be orange or something but oh gosh okay so i guess we want to say like if alert and same thing for if notice so they're not always there and then if we try submitting without a password invalid email or password that looks pretty good except i'd like the text to be orangish so how did they do that text small yellow font yeah okay whatever this seems good uh we'll come we can come back and play with that later uh okay yeah there's always time to tweak and and play some more so invalid email or password whatever that looks that looks good enough all right so now we can actually sign in that seems to work fantastic all right i'm happy with the styling for registrations and sign up let's take a look at our form for listing the property this is pretty pretty garbage so we could let's just throw some basic styling around the form and then call it good so if we come back over here we go to forms check out forms what is this oh no this is for that's for uh e-commerce so form layouts input groups select menus sign in and registration toggles admin panels uh let's see form layouts probably i don't like the side by side i would prefer it to be on top of yeah simple stacked i think is what i'm going for yeah simple stacked oh this one is interesting two columns sidebar with sidebar because we could do like listing i don't know like the listing summary stuff then maybe photos and pricing and something else so this is interesting this is definitely interesting um profile information notifications this gives us a ton to go on uh i think do we want it to be on the sidebar or across the top um let's let's figure that out later and let's use simple stacked for now so in the preview what i think yeah so yeah let's take a look at this and see what we can do with uh with this entire thing i think i want to just figure out exactly like the best way to i guess i need to like actually learn how to render form components the listing new um and uh okay so maybe let's try to be a little bit more delicate about this than i have been in the past so um yeah all right so let's let's give the form this these classes and just see what that does for us off the bat okay so that's something and then each of the inputs um there is a class for the input there's a class for the label there's a class for the for the input box itself so or there's like a this is like for the control for the whole form control so i haven't actually wrapped these in a div yet so i think we'll need to do that and then inside of that div how much more do we need we've got the label and that has a four and that has a bunch of classes so this needs now to be i should probably break these up on separate lines now that we're going to have so much css here and if we take a look at that how does that look already looking sort of like much better and then this one has a div with a margin top of one that wraps the input so let's take a look at what that looks like i don't know if that's just for text area inputs or something um and then the other thing it does is here or at least for the text inputs they've got a ton of stuff so i don't know like in that first input workation whatever it looks like it's got this sort of preview thing in the beginning but i don't care about that i more so care about like having the uh just a simple simple like input so let's look at what what first name looks like and yeah let's grab let's grab the class here for first name and come back over here class equals all that business let's take a look all right that looks pretty but everything is just like growing super huge so we actually need some sort of layout before we get too far i'm actually gonna open this up and application shells that's interesting stacked layout sidebar multi-column layout i think we want stacked stacked seems to be the direction a lot of folks are going these days uh stacked stacked stacked um which one which one do you think which one would you pick branded nav with white page header branded nav with overlap that's kind of cool that's got like the tail or the transistor fm feel to it uh i think yeah i kind of like the overlap let's try the overlap situation um do we like the dark one oh that requires oh do they all require js they all require some javascript all right that's all right let's see how this works so i want to just copy all the html i'm going to go to application html erb and i think what we actually want to do is create several layouts we want to create a layout for the host and a layout for the guest because the host is kind of using almost like an admin platform and the guest is really using like a consumer product so let's add uh well yeah for now let's just mess around with application html but we'll have to go back and um make it so that it works with a new layout eventually but for now we'll just uh we'll just drop it directly in here and then this yield business is where we want like each of the actual sort of uh views to be rendered into and so this is where we're gonna actually put our content is inside of this thing um so it says replace with your content and let's see how this looks holy moly okay great great this looks awesome and i don't think i need this uh let's see nope i do want some of that i don't want the border dashed situation okay list your property we've got this giant form your profile settings this is the part that i think needs javascript how do you actually enable the javascript for this stuff uh view or react huh interesting oh wow look at this okay so it's showing you what is this requires js business does it tell you what javascript to implement how does that work preview hmm i think that might be the only bit that requires javascript right is like hi showing and hiding whatever let's uh let's keep driving on yeah because we're going to want this to like show and hide when you click on it and then maybe we'll have like listings and bookings and i don't know inbox or messaging or something so yeah we can actually play around with that a little bit now um or we can yeah let's actually let's keep let's keep working on our form here let's keep working on our form so listing new um okay so tailwind uh header let's see how is header not not oh it's probably like size huh font size so text 5xl sure how does that look boom list your property way too big 3xl okay and then we've got our title we've got our about um and we're going to continue kind of wrapping these in a similar way now all right and does that still work address controller is connected what are these javascript errors that we're seeing all right let's clear those out close the terminal refresh the page we should see the auto um the autocomplete i don't know what's going on there why that that autocomplete isn't working every single time all right i'm just going to use the same css as we have for the input boxes and see if this works well enough how many people can stay cool all right and then do we have something for buttons here uh let's see [Music] button [Music] pre-flight button i guess you design the button the same way as you design everything else right so i just need to grab i just need to grab some sort of button that's already here so let's find the button and just grab all the same text the same classes and come down to our input and let's see how it looks all right create listing that's pretty cool all right so if we say list your property title can't be blank that's pretty nice test create listing all right we got our listing there's the title of it we've got an edit button we've got to update our edit form but i think this is where we're going to leave it today so we were able to go through and pretty quickly style out something and get a rough dashboard up and running with tailwind ui we styled some login pages we're gonna have to do a lot more work on just styling and getting this like header looking okay i've got like a login button up here that should be probably inside of these settings it would be good to have this actually work where you click on the face and this flies out and you click on it again it goes away um so yeah we'll need to dig into that a little bit but what we did today was a whole lot of styling uh like add css framework um so we'll check that box even though we didn't do a ton but uh yeah thanks for sticking around and we'll see you next time cheers [Music]
