lazy-head-gen

lazy-head-gen provides some extra generators for the Padrino framework.

The generators are hard wired to use ActiveRecord and MiniTest, as that is the options I normally use in development at Head.

Installation

gem install lazy-head-gen

In a Gemfile:

gem 'lazy-head-gen', :group => [:development, :test]

Padrino gotcha: You'll need to put the gem 'lazy-head-gen' requirement after gem 'padrino' in your Gemfile. lazy-head-gen depends on Padrino being loaded before it can do it's stuff.

Also you will need to add this gem for both :development and :test groups in your Gemfile. There are a few bundled test helper functions and assertions which are used by the test files that are generated.

Usage

Admin Controller Tests Generator

Generates a fully tested admin controller test for the 6 CRUD actions of a standard Padrino admin controller.

Usage:

padrino g admin_controller_test [name]

Options:

-r, [--root=ROOT] The root destination. Default: .

Example:

padrino g admin_controller_tests products

Scaffold Generator

Generates a fully tested Padrino resource scaffold

Usage:

padrino g scaffold [name]

Options:

-r, [--root=ROOT] The root destination. Default: .

-s, [--skip-migration] Specify whether to skip generating a migration

-a, [--app-path=APP_PATH] The application destination path. Default: /app

-m, [--model-path=MODEL_PATH] he model destination path. Default: .

-c, [--create-full-actions] Specify whether to generate basic (index and show) or full (index, show, new, create, edit, update and delete) actions.

Example:

padrino g scaffold Product title:string summary:text quantity:integer available_from:datetime display:boolean -c

Tests

Built in assertions and test helpers

First off you will need to add this line to your test_config.rb file, after you have required boot.rb.

include LazyHeadGen

This will allow you to access the couple of test helpers that are used in the generated tests.

TODO: list test helper methods.

blueprints.rb

The scaffold and admin_controller_test generators are reliant on you using a blueprints.rb file.

To Do List

Finish README - Built in assertions and test helpers
Add form output to the scaffold generator
Add documentation for testing gem dependencies

Contributing to lazy-head-gen

Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet
Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it
Fork the project
Start a feature/bugfix branch
Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
