Rails Code Indentation

Rails
1

Hi All,

Rails code must be readable, formatted and well indented.
I wanted to do indent code in my previous projects.
Is there any built in rails plugin/gem that can help me to
indent my existing code.

Any ideas will be really appreciated !

NOTE: Please don’t suggest editor plugins.

Thanks & Regards,
Sandip R~

Do you mean you want a plugin or gem that edits the file it is
interpreting? That doesn’t make sense to me.

Why not? Any decent editor will do this for you.

I find jEdit (with the appropriate plugins) does a pretty good job.
Available for Win and Linux.

Actually, since it’s Java-based, it runs on anything with a JVM,
including Macs. And it’s incredibly configurable and extensible.

I thought it would likely work on Macs also, but I have no personal
experience of this so I thought it better not to say what I was not
certain of. Usually when I do that I end up looking foolish. :slight_smile:

That said, I use both jEdit and NetBeans, which among other
strengths does a very nice job of reformatting raggedy code :slight_smile:

If you’re really attached to eclipse, I would suggest using Aptana’s
RadRails which you can install as a plugin. I started out that way,
but didn’t like the extra layer of complexity eclipse added, so I blew
that out and just am using Aptana’s IDE with RadRails directly. I’ve
also used JEdit, and with the Ruby plugins it does a lot of things
very well, but I like an IDE environment a little better (personal
choice.) --Good luck, Wayne

Netbeans is good for that.

RubyMine has an excellent code formatter. Just write your code and Cmd-
Option-L.

What do you (all the list) think about Redcar?

http://redcareditor.com/

I’m using it actually and thought that I can be a very good editor.

NetBeans indents very well.

I’ve written a Textmate plugin that indents Ruby code (rather better
than Textmate does on it’s own but not as well as Netbeans which, as
mentioned earlier in the thread does a great job).

It’s all written in Ruby so would be easy enough to extract into a gem
(it’s on my to do list).

You can see it all here

If anyone’s interested in using a gem based on this then say (and maybe
that’ll poke me to get it done).

Hi Joel,

Thanks for the plugin !
I would like to use it but i am working on ubuntu machine and
textmate works with mac. meanwhile i found rails.vim script for
vim that solved my auto indentation problems.

Hi guys,

Thanks for your reply !

I am using vi editor with rails.vim plugin as well as my own personal
indentation settings for my current developments.

but i think there should be plugin/gem to indent your rails application
directory LIKE annotate models plugin ( Lazy peoples ).
sorry to say but i don’t wanted to indent my previous developments using
editors.
