TextMate-like Template Syntax for RADRails
UPDATE: Dr Nic carried the torch and converted all of TextMates snippets to radrails templates. These templates will also be included in the next RADRails release 0.7.2 which will come out the week of November 20th. If you cant wait, read Dr Nic’s post now and get his updated templates.
Now TextMate users can migrate to RADRails even easier after their 30-day Trial period is over.
I have gone through most of the Rails commands in TextMate and made equivalent templates in RADRails. If anything it will make it easier for rails developers to move back and forth between the two most popular IDEs.

Instructions
In RADRails:
- Window → Preferences → Ruby → Templates
- Import…
- Browse to the template file.
- Hit ‘OK’ and prepare for some down and dirty ball cupping
In a Ruby editor type your favourite TextMate command then hit <ctrl+space> and select the template from the list by pressing ‘enter’.
eg.
habtm<ctrl+space> (select textmate - has_and_belongs_to_many template)Hit tab to cycle through available fields.
*Note: this is an initial release and only includes templates for Models, Views and Controllers. A few rails templates are missing, most notably, migrations.
In the next release I hope to include all TextMate HTML templates, tags, doctypes, etc. And maybe even a little extra goodies.
I am hoping that in RADRails versions to come that these templates are included with the release, and perhaps even Tab completion for templates so it works exactly like textmate.
