PartialFinder

As Rails apps grow, partial usage and templates get increasingly complicated. PartialFinder adds rake tasks to your Rails app to help you track down the various ways that a given parial may be rendered. You can provide it a partial path and it will output all of the routes and controllers that serve it, along with the intermediate files.

Usage: rake partial_finder:find\['path/to/_partial.html.erb'\]

Add this line to your application's Gemfile under the development group:

gem 'partial_finder', "~> 0.1"

And then execute:

$ bundle install

To view this help manual outside of the README, run bundle exec rake partial_finder:help.

PartialFinder adds two rake tasks to help track down partial usage:

Task: Find Usage: rake partial_finder:find\['path/to/_partial.html.erb'\] Outputs all render chains and tries to match each partial with any controllers and routes that eventually render it.

Task: Debug Usage: rake partial_finder:debug\['path/to/_partial.html.erb'\] Contains the same output as Find but with additional intermediate steps that can be used to help validate the final results.

Here's an example output when running rake partial_finder:find\["app/views/order_product_links/_description_block.html.erb"\]:

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
