With this gem, a template is searched in the current controller's view folder (as usual). If it is not found there, the template with the same name in the view folder of the superclass controller is used. Finally, also views and partials remain DRY!

DRY, SEO-friendly Rails Views

Very simple DRY admin UI.

Using Inherited Resources is an excellent way to reduce the amount of repetition in your controllers. But what about views? A lot of times resources share the same views, so why not DRY 'em up using Inherited Resources Views!

Form builder additions for drier and localized forms, and association fields adding and removing with jQuery sweetness inspired by Ryan Bates' Railcast #197

This module attempts to create structured view helpers. Essentially, a blockpile consists of a ruby class file, and a template. This allows for isolated blocks of view logic, that can maintain a clean separation of markup language from ruby code. Blocks can be inherited from to DRY up view logic.

Tanuki is an MVVM-inspired web framework that fancies idiomatic Ruby, DRY and extensibility by its design.

This gem allows similar ActiveRecord validates_* commands to be grouped together in blocks and pruned of repeated parameters. How often have you had a block of validation commands in an ActiveRecord object that are repeated, especially :id or :unless options? Does this look familiar? validates_presence_of :hair, :hair_color, :unless => :bald? validates_length_of :hair, :within => 3..15, :unless => :bald? validates_inclusion_of :hair_color, :in => HAIR_COLORS, :unless => bald? Instead, this gem will allow you to replace the above code with: validate_block :unless => :bald? do presence_of :hair, :hair_color length_of :hair, :within => 3..15 inclusion_of :hair_color, :in => HAIR_COLORS end ..which is a great way to DRY your :hair, don't you think? Basically, this gem 1) removes the requirement to have 'validates_' on the front of the commands and 2) passes the options on the validate_block command to each validation command inside the block. The syntax of the validation commands remains the same. Keeping the 'validates_*' prefix on the commands inside the block _will_ work but it is not required.

Generating HTML tables of data in the views of your Rails application is not very DRY even for the simpler of cases. Cheveret allows you to more clearly separate logic and templating and reduce the amount of code in your views.

The Don't Repeat Yourself Markup Language

A macro-style method that will automatically read the database contraints (null requirements, string length, etc) and enforce those at the model level to keep validation more DRY. Provides many options to customize how automatic it is and what columns it affects.

Keep your tests DRY. This makes some methods available to avoid repeating yourself during testing
