Overview

RailsStats is an invaluable tool for developers working with Ruby on Rails applications. It enhances the traditional rake stats functionality by providing detailed insights into various aspects of a Rails project, making it particularly useful when the app itself cannot be booted. This tool allows users to run analyses from outside the project, giving developers a broader perspective on their application's structure and organization.

The capability to integrate RailsStats directly into a Rails application transforms the way developers assess their projects. By offering extensive details about custom elements within an app, RailsStats not only highlights essential metrics but also supports continuous improvement in coding practices.

Features

  • Run from Outside the Project: Execute RailsStats without booting the application, perfect for troubleshooting or analyzing issues when the app is down.
  • Integration with Gemfile: Easily add RailsStats to your Rails project by simply including it in your Gemfile, streamlining the setup process.
  • Enhanced Coverage: Provides comprehensive insights beyond the default rake stats, including custom concepts and components uniquely added to the application.
  • Support for Multiple Engines: Analyze numerous Rails engines within a single project, offering a unified overview of all components.
  • JSON Export Capability: Export detailed analysis results in JSON format, which is useful for further processing or reporting.
  • Customizable Output: Offers various output formats, allowing developers to tailor the presentation of stats to their preferences.
  • Testing Frameworks Support: Incorporates metrics specific to different testing frameworks, aiding in quality assurance and project consistency.
  • Directory-Specific Stats: Print stats specific to app directories or engines, giving a granular view of your project’s structure.
