While developing Rails apps, it is often difficult to remember which prefixes route to which controller#action. That is why it is useful to run rails routes and put that output in a file for later reference. This gem does that for you.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'restful_routing', group: :developmentAnd then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself:
$ gem install restful_routing
Then start your engines! Server must be running in order for changes to routes.rb to be captured
$ rails s
You'll need to add restful_routing.rb to your .gitignore
Then, while your server is running, whenever you save changes to routes.rb, restful_routing.rb will update
While developing Rails apps, it is often difficult to remember which prefixes route to which controller#action. That is why it is useful to run rails routes and put that output in a file for later reference. This gem does that for you.
After installing the gem in your Rails project and starting your server (rails s), it is listening for saved changes in your config/routes.rb. Every time you make a change to routes.rb and you save it, restful_routing will look for restful_routing.rb in your root directory. It will update it if there or make it if not.
restful_routing.rb will contain the output of rails routes.
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
