The fastest way to do this is to use Go to Class. When working on your own project, you often know which file or class you want to open and edit. There are some generic features, not Rails-specific, that also come useful and help increase your productivity. If you click the 'view' icon for an action that has no view yet, RubyMine will offer to create the appropriate view file automatically. View files also have an icon that opens the associated action when clicked. Action methods in controller have a "gutter" icon pointing to the associated view file. It works everywhere, including the model diagram.Īs you are editing your code, RubyMine provides visual notifications which also serve as navigation options. So, for example, you can jump from a Model to its Controller, from a Controller to its Test, Helper of View, etc. No matter what is currently opened in the IDE, you can go to one of the related project entities by using the Navigate to Rails feature or its shortcut, Alt+Shift+N. You can print the diagram or export it as necessary.Īlso check the "Model Dependency Diagram" demo (1 min 15 sec). The diagram uses standard UML notation and serves as a map for quick navigation to project files: For this purpose, RubyMine offers the Model Dependency Diagram, which shows all project models and their associations. It can provide a broader picture as things get more complex. Sometimes it's useful to step back and take a look at your project as a whole. Model Diagram - Bird's Eye View of Your Rails Project Also, see the short demo, "Open your 1st Ruby on Rails project" (30 sec). And RubyMine is prepared for the Rails.įirst of all, for Ruby on Rails projects RubyMine offers a special Rails Project View, which logically and clearly groups the elements of a Rails project such as Controllers, Models, Helpers, Views, etc.Ĭlick through the nodes of the project view to see what is where in the structure. It is no secret why many of us use Ruby today - Ruby on Rails! Indeed, this framework does a great job of simplifying web-oriented development. Rails Project Views and Navigation Options Read on for a quick overview of RubyMine project navigation commands.
Choose what's right for you, but consider checking the other options, too.
However, since no two projects are alike, and each developer has their own habits and practices, we have designed different sets of navigation commands to suit both keyboard addicts and mouse maniacs.

Time is worth more than rubies!Įfficient project code navigation is critical, and a key area we focus on in creating the RubyMine IDE. But we, ruby "miners", cannot afford to wander the depths of our projects' code with a shimmering torch. What do you imagine first when you think of a mine? Probably a hole going under ground where everything is pitch-dark and it's difficult to find your way around.
