While writing web applications in Ruby programming language, programmers have option to choose from several web frameworks. But the usage statistics posted on various websites depict that most web developers prefer Ruby on Rails (RoR) to other Ruby web frameworks. Rails accelerates web application development by providing a set of libraries and reusable code.

1. FEATURES OF RUBYMINE

2.  While writing web applications in Ruby programming language,
programmers have option to choose from several web frameworks.
 But the usage statistics posted on various websites depict that most web
developers prefer Ruby on Rails (RoR) to other Ruby web frameworks.
 Rails accelerates web application development by providing a set of
libraries and reusable code.
 The developers even have option to customize the full-stack web framework
according to precise needs of each project.
 The popularity of Ruby on Rails will remain stable in 2018 and beyond.

3.  The Ruby programmers can even use a number of integrated
development environments (IDEs) to build, compile, and debug the web
applications efficiently.
 JetBrains has developed RubyMine as an intelligent IDE with first class
support for both Ruby and Rails.
 Unlike conventional text editors, RubyMine comes with language-
specific features to accelerate development, testing, and debugging of
Ruby web applications.
 These features of RubyMine enable developers to use RoR more
efficiently to build a variety of custom web applications.

4. Features of RubyMine Which Makes It Useful for Ruby on
Rails Developers
Smart Editor
 RubyMine is developed with first class support for Rails. While using
RubyMine, the developers can take advantage of a smart editor which provides
a number of language specific features like code formatting, code completion,
syntax and error highlighting and quick documentation.
 The language specific features provided by the IDE help developers to write
high quality code and keep the web applications maintainable.

5. Smart Search
The smart search option provided by RubyMine enables developers to jump
to any file, class, symbol, tool window, or IDE action instantaneously. The
developers can even switch to usages, implementation, declaration, test, or
super method with one click. Also, the feature makes it easier for
programmers to navigate view, model, classes, and gem dependency
diagrams seamlessly.
Code Smells
RubyMine further helps developers to keep the code base clean and
maintainable by verifying the code thoroughly. In addition to looking for
possible coding errors, the IDE further provides quick-fix options and on-the-
fly improvements. The developers can even implement changes throughout
the project by availing Rails-aware refactoring. They even have option to
automate the entire code refactoring process.

6. GUI Debugger
 RubyMine simplifies testing and debugging of Rails applications by
providing a robust graphical user interface (GUI). The programmers can
use the GUI to execute the code sequentially, set breakpoints, and access
the required information. The GUI further provides coding assistance for a
number of testing tools – Cucumber, RSpec, Shoulda, Test::Unit and
MiniTest.
Rails Generator
 The UI provided by RubyMine allows web developers to add new Rails
entities to the project through Rails generator. The developers can access
Rails generators directly and quickly from the IDE. They can even use the
Rails generators to add new models, scaffolds, controllers, and similar
Rails entities to the project without putting extra time and effort.

7. Advanced Code Navigation
 RubyMine comes with several code navigation features.
 The developers can use Rails project view to access the models, views,
controllers, and migration, along with their content.
 Likewise, they can use the project dependency diagram to analyze the
project structure based on project models and their attributes.
 At the same time, the IDE also makes it easier for developers to switch
between models and controllers by supporting MVC-based navigation.

8. Workspace Customization
 RubyMine allows developers to build web applications in personalized
environment by providing variety of customization option.
 A Rails developer can use color and keyboard schemes to customize the
workspace according to his personal preferences.
 Also, he can make the development environment more productive
through the look-and-feel settings provided by the IDE.
 RubyMine further enables workers to use a unified user interface to work
with multiple version control systems – GitSVN, Git and Mercurial.
