RailsZen

AIM: To save time by giving a boilerplate, and a thought flow.

A step by step generator. This will get uniqueness, validations from you, and write the appropriate files (model, migration, model_spec).

The specs generated here assumes you are using

• Rspec (>3.0)
• Shoulda matchers
• FactoryGirl

NOTE: You need to use this app at the root of your rails directory

Disclamier: Things like mocks, stubs and proper testing might not be possible with this project. The aim is to automate as many things as possible, this is not a panacea :) .

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rails_zen'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rails_zen

rails_zen model g user name:string score:integer

• Once you enter this command, you will have few questions asked such as what to validate, which attribute is unique.
• Based on your input, the model, model_spec and migration files will be written

rails_zen model act calculator sum

• When you want to add a method to your model, you could invoke this command.

• This will get inputs from you such as:

  • what the method does
  • the argument names
  • sample argument with a corresponding output

• Based on these input, a skeleton method will be written to your model file and model spec file

OPTIONS: If you want to write a class method you can pass --class option like this

rails_zen model g calculator sum --class

rails_zen model g help
rails_zen model act help

You could see this sample video demonstrating the usage of the gem.

This demonstrates the usage of act command.

(Currently act does a simple assertion using "eq")

• Create aliases for these commands in your bashrc or zshrc.
• I'm using

    alias rzmg="rails_zen model g "
    alias rzma="rails_zen model act "

rzmg user name:string score:integer
rzma user calculate_score
