RubyConf 2007: Use Ruby to Generate More Ruby - RubiGen is Everywhere

Dr Nic

Opening Theme: A-Team

Ryan Bates' video on writing your generator

He's moving too fast for me to live blog.

He pulled generators out of Rails, so that Ruby projects can make use of them.

It's been integrated into Merb, NewGem, RubyCocoa, and Airake.

Pseudo-live, he modifies sow to make use of generators, instead of printing text directly to a file.

TODO:
  • replace rails_generator with rubigen dependency
  • gereators pick dependencies based on which scopes are available (different ORMs and different test suites)
I love it when a plan comes together.
