What are the helpful packages for Emacs to do ruby on rails?

I would like to know the best Emacs plugins for developers using the Ruby on Rails framework.

If you want to have an awesome emacs config you should install these packages:

  • inf-ruby

  • projectile

  • projectile-rails

  • robe-mode

  • web-mode

  • rvm

  • flymake-ruby

  • flymake-easy

  • flymake-css

  • flymake-sass

  • flymake-coffee

  • flymake-haml

  • flymake-html-validator

  • haml-mode

  • yaml-mode

  • slim-mode

  • sass-mode

  • coffee-mode

  • feature-mode

if you were using vimux you would like to replace projectile and projectile-rails with emacs-rails-reloaded

by the way if you happen to be a vim user then you should checkout spacemacs.spacemacs has predefined configuration layers for html and ruby on rails.

for ruby as well as ruby on rails

  • bundler

  • chruby

  • company

  • enh-ruby-mode

  • evil-matchit

  • flycheck

  • popwin

  • rbenv

  • robe

  • rspec-mode

  • rubocop

  • ruby-mode (should be avaliable by default)

  • ruby-test-mode

  • ruby-tools

  • rvm

  • smartparens

  • rake

You may find my 2014 post on configuring emacs as a productive development environment for Rails helpful. It primarily covers projectile, robe and rvm integration.

While both emacs-rails-reloaded and rinari have been somewhat popular at a time, their development has languished. Projectile-rails is maintained much more actively.

In particular my overall experience with helm and projectile has been very good and would strongly recommend in favor of them.

Here are some of the modes you should try:

Rinari - A simple framework for getting around your code, running tests, and managing consoles, web-servers, etc. It's minimalistic and revolves around a series of key-bindings.

Emacs-rails - the grandfather of Emacs RoR modes. It hasn't been updated in a while, and in fact the primary homepage no longer exists. But it's quite powerful and lets you do almost everything.

Emacs-rails-reloaded - This is a re-design of the original emacs-rails. It uses the the great anything mode to help you find things and get around.
