Rails navigation

Last modified: 18 January 2023

Navigate between Rails components: Navigate | Related Symbol... Ctrl+Alt+Home

RubyMine helps you navigate between the Rails components, such as controllers, views, models, tests, and so on. For example, from a model, you can navigate to a controller, a table schema in schema.rb or structure.sql, a test, or a corresponding factory. Navigation capabilities are available in the editor, tool windows, and model dependency diagrams.

tip

To navigate between code elements of the specific file, use the Structure tool window.

Navigate to a related Rails entity

To navigate between Rails components:

Navigate to a related Rails entity using gutter icons

You can navigate between Rails components using gutter icons.

Navigate to a declaration in routes.rb using inlay hints

You can use the URL path inlay hints to navigate from a controller action to the respective declaration in the routes.rb file.

tip

To enable or disable the URL path inlay hints, go to Settings | Editor | Inlay hints and toggle the URL path checkbox.

Navigate to partial declarations

The Partial declarations gutter icon in the editor marks a partial declaration. Pointing to this icon shows information about the other parts of the same declaration. To navigate to a partial declaration, click the gutter icon and select the desired part of the declaration from the popup.

Navigate with model dependency diagram

RubyMine allows you to jump from nodes/associations in a model dependency diagram to corresponding classes in code.

To do this, right-click the required node/association in the diagram and select Selected Element Actions | Jump to Source F4. If you have selected a one-to-many or many-to-many association, you can choose the desired association part.
