Overview

Run rails server and generator subcommands from the Rails console

This is a solution based on blockgiven.tumblr.com/post/5161067729/rails-server Can be used to run rails server, rails generate from the Rails console thus speeding up Rails server startup to ~ 1 second.

Usage:

Rails.server                     to start the rails server
Rails.generate                   to list generators
Rails.generate "model", "user"   to use a generator
Rails.update   "model", "user"   to update the generated code
Rails.destroy  "model", "user"   to remove the generated code

NOTE: after Rails.server, you cannot use Control-C anymore in the console because it first stops the server, secondly stops the process
