Coulda generator

Inspired by technicalpickles' shoulda_generator (okay blatantly ripped off from ;)

What you'll need:

• shoulda
• factory_girl

What it does

coulda_model

• a new model
• a migration (skip using --skip-migration)
• a factory defined with factory_girl (skip using --skip-factory)
• a shoulda unit test with some tests

coulda_scaffold

• a coulda_model
• a RESTful controller
• a helper
• ERB templates
• a shoulda functional test using a factory_girl factory
• a helper test in test/unit/helper

Example usage

Use these just like the standard Rails generators.

$ script/generate coulda_model post title:string body:text published:boolean
$ script/generate coulda_scaffold post title:string body:text published:boolean

Other stuff

belongs_to

Using "belongs_to" as the field type provides some extra goodness.

• "add_index" in the migration
• "belongs_to" in the model
• "should_belong_to" in unit test
• association in the factory

example

$ script/generate coulda_model post title:string body:text user:belongs_to

will give you this migration:

class CreatePosts < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    create_table :posts do |t|
      t.string :title
      t.text :body
      t.belongs_to :user
      
      t.timestamps
    end

    add_index :posts, :user_id
  end

  def self.down
    remove_index :posts, :user_id
    drop_table :posts
  end
end

for this model:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
end

with this unit test:

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../test_helper'

class PostTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase

  should_have_db_column :title, :type => "string"
  should_have_db_column :body, :type => "text"
  
  should_belong_to :user
  should_have_index :user_id
  
end

and finally our factory:

Factory.define :post do |f|
  f.title 'MyString'
  f.body 'MyString'
  f.user {|f| f.association(:user)}
end
