Constants

DEFAULT_ALIASES
DEFAULT_OPTIONS
RAILS_DEV_PATH

We need to store the RAILS_DEV_PATH in a constant, otherwise the path can change in Ruby 1.8.7 when we FileUtils.cd.

api_only!() Show source
# File railties/lib/rails/generators.rb, line 118
def api_only!
  hide_namespaces "assets", "helper", "css", "js"

  options[:rails].merge!(
    api: true,
    assets: false,
    helper: false,
    template_engine: nil
  )

  if ARGV.first == "mailer"
    options[:rails][:template_engine] = :erb
  end
end

Configure generators for API only applications. It basically hides everything that is usually browser related, such as assets and session migration generators, and completely disable helpers and assets so generators such as scaffold won't create them.

fallbacks() Show source
# File railties/lib/rails/generators.rb, line 110
def fallbacks
  @fallbacks ||= {}
end

Hold configured generators fallbacks. If a plugin developer wants a generator group to fallback to another group in case of missing generators, they can add a fallback.

For example, shoulda is considered a test_framework and is an extension of test_unit. However, most part of shoulda generators are similar to test_unit ones.

Shoulda then can tell generators to search for test_unit generators when some of them are not available by adding a fallback:

Rails::Generators.fallbacks[:shoulda] = :test_unit
help(command = "generate") Show source
# File railties/lib/rails/generators.rb, line 181
def help(command = "generate")
  puts "Usage: rails #{command} GENERATOR [args] [options]"
  puts
  puts "General options:"
  puts "  -h, [--help]     # Print generator's options and usage"
  puts "  -p, [--pretend]  # Run but do not make any changes"
  puts "  -f, [--force]    # Overwrite files that already exist"
  puts "  -s, [--skip]     # Skip files that already exist"
  puts "  -q, [--quiet]    # Suppress status output"
  puts
  puts "Please choose a generator below."
  puts

  print_generators
end

Show help message with available generators.

Returns an array of generator namespaces that are hidden. Generator namespaces may be hidden for a variety of reasons. Some are aliased such as “rails:migration” and can be invoked with the shorter “migration”, others are private to other generators such as “css:scaffold”.

hide_namespace(*namespaces)
Alias for: hide_namespaces
hide_namespaces(*namespaces) Show source
# File railties/lib/rails/generators.rb, line 175

Also aliased as: hide_namespace

      end

Receives a namespace, arguments and the behavior to invoke the generator. It's used as the default entry point for generate, destroy and update commands.

Remove the color from output.
