TextMate snippets for CanCan (and other Ruby things)
In the interest of keeping my TextMate snippets synced better between my work and home computers, I decided to share a couple of bundles on GitHub this week. The first is a bundle of several random snippets I use with Haml, Jekyll, and Factory Girl. See the README for details. Nothing fancy, but definitely timesaving for me.
I split out my snippets for the CanCan authorization gem, rounded them out a bit, and put them in a bundle of their own. Here’s the list of tab-complete shortcuts as it currently stands:
Defining abilities in ability.rb:
| can :manage | cm |
| can :read | cr |
| can :index | ci |
| can :create | cc |
| can :update | cu |
| can :destroy | cd |
| can (array) | c |
| can (block) | cb |
| cannot :manage | ctm |
| cannot :read | ctr |
| cannot :index | cti |
| cannot :create | ctc |
| cannot :update | ctu |
| cannot :destroy | ctd |
| cannot (array) | ct |
| cannot (block) | ctb |
Checking abilities in views and controllers:
| if can? :manage | cm |
| if can? :create | cc |
| if can? :update | cu |
| if can? :destroy | cd |
| if can? :index | ci |
Protecting controllers and actions:
| load_and_authorize_resource | lar |
| skip_load_and_authorize_resource | slar |
| load_resource | lr |
| skip_load_resource | slr |
| authorize_resource | ar |
| skip_authorize_resource | sar |
If you try them out please let me know what you think.
