# Shoulda generators
One night at a Boston Ruby hackfest, I finally got sick of using the Rails default generators, and then having to twiddle them to meet my needs and tastes. This includes using things like:
* [shoulda](http://thoughtbot.com/projects/shoulda)
* [factory\_girl](http://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl)
* [haml](http://haml.hamptoncatlin.com/)
* [blueprint](http://code.google.com/p/blueprintcss/)
The next morning, I was struck awake at 5am with the inspiration to start implementing it. shoulda\_generator is the result of this effort.
## What you get
### shoulda\_model
* A new model
* A migration for the model
* Skip using --skip-migration
* A factory defined with [factory_girl](http://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl)
* Skip using --skip-factory
* A [shoulda](http://thoughtbot.com/projects/shoulda) unit test with a few simple 'should's
#### Prereqs:
* [shoulda](http://thoughtbot.com/projects/shoulda) installed as a plugin
* [factory\_girl](http://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl) gem installed
* [factory\_girl\_on\_rails](http://github.com/technicalpickles/factory_girl_on_rails) installed as a plugin
### shoulda\_scaffold
* Everything included in shoulda_model
* A controller (sans unnecessary comments)
* Choice of [haml](http://haml.hamptoncatlin.com/) (default) or ERB
* Specify which with the --templating option
* Simple layout styled with blueprint
* Skip using --skip-layout
* A helper
* A shoulda functional test using factory_girl factory, using should\_be\_restful or not
* Specify with --functional-test-style, accepts basic and should\_be\_restful
#### Prereqs:
* [shoulda](http://thoughtbot.com/projects/shoulda) installed as a plugin
* [factory\_girl](http://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl) gem installed
* [factory\_girl\_on\_rails](http://github.com/technicalpickles/factory_girl_on_rails) installed as a plugin
* [haml](http://haml.hamptoncatlin.com/) gem installed on the system, and the project has been hamlified using `haml --rails`
## Getting it
shoulda\_generator is available as a gem via [GitHub](http://github.com). If you haven't done so already, you need to setup GitHub as a gem source:
$ gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
Now you can install it:
$ sudo gem install technicalpickles-shoulda_generator
## Example usage
Usage is the same as the default Rails generators.
$ script/generate shoulda_model post title:string body:text published:boolean
$ script/generate shoulda_scaffold post title:string body:text published:boolean
## Configuring it
You can override the default values for templating and functional\_test\_style by placing a .shoulda\_generator file in your home directory.
Here's an example `.shoulda_generator`:
:templating: erb # supported options: haml|erb
:functional_test_syle: basic # supported options: should_be_restful|basic
## Developing it
Source is hosted on GitHub: [http://github.com/technicalpickles/shoulda_generator/tree/master](http://github.com/technicalpickles/shoulda_generator/tree/master)
You can do the usual fork/commit cycle until you have something ready to share. Send pull requests my way.
