FIXME, TODO and OPTIMIZE code comments

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 19:31:08 +0000

rubyquicktips:

You can add some special notes to your source code comments in Rails to remind you later of stuff you need to do:
class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
  # TODO add named_scopes
  # FIXME method A is broken
  # OPTIMIZE improve the code 

  has_many :comments
  ....
end
You can list these special notes with a rake task:
$ rake notes
app/models/article.rb:
  * [2] [TODO] add named_scopes
  * [3] [FIXME] method A is broken
  * [4] [OPTIMIZE] improve the code
You can also list notes of each kind individually with rake notes:todo, rake notes:fixme and rake notes:optimize.
You can even list your own, custom notes with rake notes:custom ANNOTATION=MYANNO.

Date manipulation

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 19:27:24 +0000

rubyquicktips:

You can add or subtract days or month from a Date object:

+(n): add n number of days

-(n): subtract n number of days

>>(n): add n number of months

<<(n): subtract n number of months

Here are some examples:
$ irb
>> date = Date.today     # => #
>> date.to_s
=> "2010-01-26"
>> tomorrow = date + 1   # => #
>> tomorrow.to_s
=> "2010-01-27"
>> nextmonth = date >> 1 # => #
>> nextmonth.to_s
=> "2010-02-26"

““I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.””

Visor For Terminal

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 14:58:21 +0000

If you use a Mac for development, I highly recommend Visor. Instead of tabbing back to Terminal or flicking between spaces, just press a shortcut and Terminal will magically appear.
