How to rename rails 4 app?

Question

rails plugin install git://github.com/get/Rename.git will allow us to rename only rails 3 app

Is there any gem available to rename Rails 4 app.

Answer 1

In Rails 5.x, doing it manually

using ag (https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher), there are files that use the default folder name (if generated via rails new .)

three basic files, relative to root of project, need to be updated:

• config/cable.yml > channel_prefix:
• config/environments/production.rb > # config.active_job.queue_name_prefix
• package.json > name

There are sure to be more locations as mentioned previously such as database etc. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Add

gem 'rename' to Gemfile

then

bundle install

After that

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

Answer 3

For rails 5.2

Add gem 'rename' to the gemfile

bundle install

rails g rename:into your_new_app_name
