Renaming a Rails 4 app

I have created a Rails 4 app but the name has since changed.

I have updated the folder name, but I was wondering what files do I need to go into and update to have this new name throughout the site, or if there is rails command that will do this quickly and easily.

Add gem 'rename' to Gemfile then do bundle install .

After bundle install
rails g rename:app_to name_of_app

And if you are using mongoid then you need to rename the database name in config/mongoid.yml

https://github.com/morshedalam/rename - I posted an issue there for you. It was great for me with rails 3.

survey says... it works great with Rails 4!!

You should search the directory for all instances of the app name:

ack "app-name" and figure out what each one is doing. You will often times have named spaced modules under the old name.

config.ru and config/application.rb for sure should be checked.
