description

This is a massive (in a good way) Vim plugin for editing Ruby on Rails applications. * Easy navigation of the Rails directory structure.  gf considers context and knows about partials, fixtures, and much more.  There are two commands, :A (alternate) and :R (related) for easy jumping between files, including favorites like model to schema, template to helper, and controller to functional test.  Commands like :Emodel, :Eview, :Econtroller, are provided to :edit files by type, along with S, V, and T variants for :split, :vsplit, and :tabedit.  Throw a bang on the end (:Emodel foo!) to automatically create the file with the standard boilerplate if it doesn't exist.  :help rails-navigation * Enhanced syntax highlighting.  From has_and_belongs_to_many to distance_of_time_in_words, it's here. * Interface to the rails command.  Generally, use :Rails console to call rails console.  Many commands have wrappers with additional features: :Generate controller Blog generates a blog controller and loads the generated files into the quickfix list, and :Runner wraps rails runner and doubles as a direct test runner.  :help rails-exec * Default task runner.  Use :Rails (with no arguments) to run the current test, spec, or feature.  Use :.Rails to do a focused run of just the method, example, or scenario on the current line.  :Rails can also run arbitrary migrations, load individual fixtures, and more.  :help rails-default-task * Partial and concern extraction.  In a view, :Rextract {file} replaces the desired range (typically selected in visual line mode) with render '{file}', which is automatically created with your content.  In a model or controller, a concern is created, with the appropriate include declaration left behind.  :help rails-:Rextract * Fully customizable. Define "projections" at the global, app, or gem level to define navigation commands and override the alternate file, default rake task, syntax highlighting, abbreviations, and more.  :help rails-projections. * Integration with other plugins.  If dbext.vim is installed, it will be transparently configured to reflect database.yml.  Users of abolish.vim get pluralize and tableize coercions, and users of bundler.vim get a smattering of features.  :help rails-integration If you like rails.vim and use Git, please Watch the repository on Github at http://github.com/tpope/vim-rails, and try my Git wrapper fugitive.vim: vimscript #2975 http://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive
