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.
