Gem of the Week - Tattle

Tip(s) of the Week

Clean up your Rails controllers with Verify

Use verify in your controller to filter access based on the HTTP method. For example, I put following line in a controller to ensure that the signup action will only accept an HTTP POST; and, if called via anything else, the user is redirected to the index:

verify :method => :post, :only => :signup, :redirect_to => :index

Some TextMate Shortcuts

Use Command-T to quickly jump to another file. This command will bring up a dialog box from where you can find the file by simply typing the first few letters of the file name

Use Command-Shift-T to jump to the known symbols in a file. When editing a Ruby file, this will allow you to jump to any of the methods defined. In an rhtml (or html) file, it will let you jump to an element based on id.
