If you see my older posts, you'll seee I've made a simple gem bundle for a rake task: color_routes. Well, since Rails 3 with it's new routing implementation that piece of crap dosn't print any routes so yesterday I spent a couple of hours investigating how to pretty print the routes.
desc 'Pretty version on rails rake routes.'
EMK="\033[1;30m"
EMR="\033[1;31m"
EMY="\033[1;33m"
EMB="\033[1;34m"
EMM="\033[1;35m"
EMC="\033[1;36m"
EMW="\033[1;37m"
NOCOLOR = "\033[0m"
task :color_routes => :environment do
Rails.application.reload_routes!
all_routes = Rails.application.routes.routes.to_a
all_routes.reject! {|route| route.verb == nil or route.path.spec.to_s == '/assets'}
names_max_width = all_routes.map {|route| route.name.to_s.length}.max
verbs_max_width = 6
paths_max_width = all_routes.map {|route| route.path.spec.to_s.length}.max
controllers_max_width = all_routes.map {|route| route.defaults[:controller].length}.max
actions_max_width = all_routes.map {|route| route.defaults[:action].length}.max
all_routes.group_by {|route| route.defaults[:controller]}.each_value do |group|
puts EMK + "\nCONTROLLER: " + EMW + group.first.defaults[:controller] + NOCOLOR
group.each do |route|
name = EMC + route.name.to_s.rjust(names_max_width) + NOCOLOR
verb = EMY + route.verb.inspect.gsub(/^.{2}|.{2}$/,"").center(verbs_max_width) + NOCOLOR
path = EMR + route.path.spec.to_s.ljust(paths_max_width).gsub(/(\.?:[^\(\)\/]+)/){EMB + $1 + EMR} + NOCOLOR
action = EMW + route.defaults[:action].ljust(actions_max_width) + NOCOLOR
puts "|#{name}|#{verb}|#{path}|#{action}"
end
end
end
Want it? You can simply copy it, or...
cd my_rails_app/lib/tasks
