    <p><code>root</code> is defined on <code>ActionDispatch::Routing::Mapper::Base</code>, which is included by <code>ActionDispatch::Routing::Mapper</code>.</p> <p>There is a little more going on behind the scenes than at first glance. </p> <p>If we look at the definition of <code>draw</code>, we can see why:</p> <pre><code># action_dispatch/routing/route_set.rb def draw(&amp;block) # ... eval_block(block) # ... end </code></pre> <p>The block is converted to a proc (with <code>&amp;</code>) and passed to <code>eval_block</code> which is defined a bit farther down:</p> <pre><code>def eval_block(block) # ... mapper = Mapper.new(self) # ... mapper.instance_exec(&amp;block) end </code></pre> <p>So, as it turns out, <code>yield</code> isn't used at all. The block we pass to <code>Application.routes.draw</code> is just being evaluated in the context of an instance of <code>ActionDispatch::Routing::Mapper</code>.</p> <p>If we add <code>puts self</code> to our <code>config/routes.rb</code>, we can see this in action:</p> <pre><code>Application.routes.draw do puts self end </code></pre> <p>When we run <code>rake routes</code> we get something similar to the following:</p> <pre><code>#&lt;ActionDispatch::Routing::Mapper:0x007feadf52cbd8&gt; # ... </code></pre> <p>For further reading, see:</p> <p><a href="http://ruby-doc.org/core-1.8.7/Object.html#method-i-instance_exec" rel="nofollow">http://ruby-doc.org/core-1.8.7/Object.html#method-i-instance_exec</a> <a href="https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/routing/route_set.rb#LC296" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/routing/route_set.rb#LC296</a> <a href="https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/routing/mapper.rb#LC336" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/routing/mapper.rb#LC336</a> <a href="http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1934356476" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Metaprogramming-Ruby-Program-Like-Pros/dp/1934356476</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
