very_nifty_generators¶ ↑

Rails 3 nifty generators based on efforts by ryanb and dvyjones. The generators use the very DRY rails 3 conventions as described by ryanb

The gem comes with executables that can be found in the /bin folder

*  nifty_auth
*  nifty_config
*  nifty_layout

Scaffold¶ ↑

nifty_scaffold [model:string] [attributes:hash]

$ nifty_scaffold Person name:string birthdate:date

Application¶ ↑

nifty_app [application name]

$ nifty_app my_best_app

Note: The nifty_app is a bare-bones rails 3 app, without any prototype files, index file etc. This bare bones file is intended as a building-block for use with Rails application templates to add custom application logic, such as the use of prototype/jquery, testing frameworks, authentication etc. This bare-bones approach is meant to avoid having to first delete specific files from the default rails app created by the built-in rails app generator.

The executables are installed when the gem is installed on your system $ sudo gem install very_nifty_generators

Note: More nifty generators for rails 3 are in the pipeline… feel free to come with suggestions.

Also check out my monog_model_r3 gem with generators for use with mongo DB ;)

Note on Patches/Pull Requests¶ ↑

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
