Some TextMate snippets for Rails Migrations 0

Posted by sjs

Initially I wrote a snippet for adding a table and one for dropping a table, but I don’t want to write it twice every time! If I’m adding a table in up then I probably want to drop it in down.

What I did was create one snippet that writes both lines, then it’s just a matter of cut & paste to get it in down. The drop_table line should be inserted in the correct method, but that doesn’t seem possible. I hope I’m wrong!

Scope should be source.ruby.rails and the triggers I use are above the snippets.

 

mcdt: M*igration *Create and D*rop *Table

create_table "${1:table}" do |t|
    $0
end
${2:drop_table "$1"}

mcc: M*igration *Create C*olumn

t.column "${1:title}", :${2:string}

marc: *Migration A*dd and *Remove C*olumn

add_column "${1:table}", "${2:column}", :${3:string}
${4:remove_column "$1", "$2"}
I realize this might not be for everyone, so here are my original 4 snippets that do the work of *marc and mcdt.

 

mct: *Migration Create *Table

create_table "${1:table}" do |t|
    $0
end

mdt: M*igration *Drop T*able

drop_table "${1:table}"

mac: *Migration A*dd *Column

add_column "${1:table}", "${2:column}", :${3:string}

mrc: M*igration *Rremove Column

remove_column "${1:table}", "${2:column}"

I’ll be adding more snippets and macros. There should be a central place where the rails bundle can be improved and extended. Maybe there is…
