Best Textmate plugin ever

February 19, 2006

All of you Rails developers using the wonderful Textmate editor may want to sit down for this. Duane Johnson has been on a roll creating the greatest Textmate Bundle ever – syncPeople on Rails. Why so great, you ask? I’ll tell you. Rails enforces a rather strict MVC file hierarchy which does wonders for code consistancy. It rather sucks, however, when trying to edit related code held in 3 or 4 different directories. This bundle file creates 3 new commands… “Open Controller/View”, “Create Partial from Selection” and “Intelligent Go To File.” Check this….

> “Hit the keypad enter key and youll be taken to whatever makes the most sense. For example, if youre on a line that reads render :action => list and you hit enter, youll be taken to that list action in the controller. If youre inside a view file but not on any particular render line, youll be taken to the controller. It tries to use a best-match scenario…”

Absolutely fabulous. Thanks Duane!
