Commands
Run Rake and Rails commands during a console session. This side-steps the need to load the entire environment over and over again when you run these commands from the shell. This constant reloading of the environment is what causes slow boot time on big applications. Think of this like a baby Zeus or the Turbolinks of commands.
Installation
Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:
gem 'commands'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Usage
When your console boots, it’ll automatically have a commander
object instantiated. The following methods are delegated to this object: rake, test, generate, destroy, update. It’s used like this:
> generate "scaffold post title:string"
> rake "db:migrate"
> test "models/person"
