Use Ruby to Generate More Ruby - RubiGen

on YouTube ↗41m

" summary

RubiGen extracts Rails’ generator system into a reusable rubygen gem that actually builds gems, app scaffolds and component generators using ERB templates and a manifest/hook system; it supports interchangeable scopes (merb, rubygems, rails) so the same generator name yields framework‑specific output, includes a TDD helper suite, and shows up working in demos for Merb, RubyCocoa and Rake after a few hiccups and fixes. The concrete claim is: generators produce real files and runnable gems, not just examples, and they do.
