Rails Sitemap

Posted November 6, 2007 * Comments(2)

“When something is too hard, it means that you’re not cheating enough. it means that you’re doing it wrong“. Generating a Rails sitemap (hash of application controllers and actions) is as simple as placing and calling this method in your application:


  def controllers_and_actions
    require 'find'
    site_map = {}
    Find.find(RAILS_ROOT + '/app/controllers') do |file_name|
        if /_controller.rb$/ =~ file_name
          name = File.basename(file_name, ".rb")
          site_map[name] = []
          Object.const_get(name.classify).instance_methods(false).each do |act|
            site_map[name] << act
          end
        end
    end
    site_map
  end
