Stage: Rails version

Posted in RubyOnRails, Stage on April 27, 2008 | Comments Off

I initially had this idea for reducing the Ruby code in the views. That manifested itself as the Stage plugin. I was never really satisfied with the result, passing the form variable around was such a hack.
Thanks to the action_name instance variable, I’ve now cleaned it up and am much happier with the [...]

Merb: Stage gem

Posted in Merb, Stage on April 20, 2008 | Comments Off

I’ve just written a little code template generator for Merb called Stage. This idea was originally implemented as a plugin for Rails, but has been refactored as a gem. This new version is for Merb + DataMapper only. Extended support for Rails and other ORMs are planned.
There appears to be some quirk [...]

Stage generator update

Posted in RubyOnRails, Stage on March 19, 2008 | Comments Off

I’ve updated stage to remove the automatic inclusion of unit tests. This is one step closer to adding in the choice between unit tests and rspec.

$ ./script/plugin install http://stonean.googlecode.com/svn/stage/trunk
For more info please see the original post.

I’ve just updated the stage plugin to fix a naming collision issue when Rails utilizes two or more helpers with the same name. Previously the method names were simply the column name: User.first_name would have a first_name method in the users_helper. Now that method is defined as user_first_name.
Having the partial setup makes this [...]

The generator was creating a now defunct ‘data’ directory in app/views. This has been corrected.

Stage Improvements?

Posted in RubyOnRails, Stage on February 2, 2008 | Comments Off

I spent some time lurking on the RubyOnRails list and eventually engaged in a couple of conversations. I came away with three important notes:
1) As this was my first publicly announced code released, I realized I should have done this earlier. Great to get feedback.2) Some simple design changes were made to further [...]

Generator: Stage

Posted in RubyOnRails, Stage on January 31, 2008 | 4 Comments »

Update: Stage has become a gem and project details can be found at stonean.com
This post was updated on 04-27-08 to reflect the improved design. I’m using the RubyOnRails methods as this is where Stage was born, but Stage is available for Merb as well.
I’ve just completed a new generator called stage. This is a [...]
