Instance Method Detail
append_sources(*args)
Add a source to the end of the list.
instance(generator_name, args = [], runtime_options = {})
Convenience method to lookup and instantiate a generator.
lookup(generator_name)
Lookup knows how to find generators’ Specs from a list of Sources. Searches the sources, in order, for the first matching name.
prepend_sources(*args)
Add a source to the beginning of the list.
reset_sources()
Reset the source list.
sources()
The list of sources where we look, in order, for generators.
use_application_sources!()
Use application generators (app, ?).
use_component_sources!()
Use component generators (model, controller, etc).
- Rails application. If RAILS_ROOT is defined we know we‘re generating in the context of a Rails application, so search RAILS_ROOT/generators.
- Look in plugins, either for generators/ or rails_generators/ directories within each plugin
- User home directory. Search ~/.rails/generators.
- RubyGems. Search for gems named *_generator, and look for generators within any RubyGem‘s /rails_generators/<generator_name>_generator.rb file.
- Builtins. Model, controller, mailer, scaffold, and so on.
