LiteFixtures ============= INSTALL: script/plugin install git://github.com/theIntuitionist/lite-fixtures.git Lite Fixtures introduces two syntactical improvements to standard rails fixtures. 1) Patterns in fixture names Using the pattern "(owners)s_(color)_(make)" in conjunction with the fixture name "Freds_red_Ford" unpacks owner to Fred, color to red and make to Ford. So: (owners)s_(color)_(make): Freds_red_Ford: year: 1977 Eds_blue_Chevy: year: 1987 Becomes Freds_red_Ford: owner: Fred color: red make: Ford year: 1977 Eds_blue_Chevy: owner: Ed color: blue make: Chevy year: 1987 2) Grouping of Data Often fixtures group cleanly- family of users, manufacturers of cars, etc. Lite fixtures lets you nest data, so scoped values are propigated inward. So: red_fords: make: ford color: red mustang: owner: freddy taurus: owner: freddy Becomes: mustang: make: ford color: red owner: freddy taurus: make: ford color: red owner: freddy All the usual fixture features are still supported Copyright (c) 2008 Jason Libsch, released under the MIT license
