.api_only! ⇒ Object

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.

end

.fallbacks ⇒ Object

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

.find_by_namespace(name, base = nil, context = nil) ⇒ Object

Rails finds namespaces similar to Thor, it only adds one rule:

Generators names must end with “_generator.rb”. This is required because Rails looks in load paths and loads the generator just before it’s going to be used.

find_by_namespace :webrat, :rails, :integration

Will search for the following generators:

"rails:webrat", "webrat:integration", "webrat"

Notice that “rails:generators:webrat” could be loaded as well, what Rails looks for is the first and last parts of the namespace.

.hidden_namespaces ⇒ Object

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”.
