  lookup(generator_name).klass.new(args, full_options(runtime_options))
end

#lookup(generator_name) ⇒ Object

Lookup knows how to find generators’ Specs from a list of Sources. Searches the sources, in order, for the first matching name.

def use_application_sources!

  sources << PathSource.new(:builtin, "#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/generators/applications")
end

#use_component_sources! ⇒ Object

Use component generators (model, controller, etc).

  1. Rails application. If RAILS_ROOT is defined we know we’re generating in the context of a Rails application, so search RAILS_ROOT/generators.

  2. User home directory. Search ~/.rails/generators.

  3. RubyGems. Search for gems named *_generator.

  4. Builtins. Model, controller, mailer, scaffold.
