forestify

forestify creates forests out of your Active Record models : it implements a simple data-structure which hierarchizes your data.

For example, given the following model :

class Tag < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :name
  forestify
end

You can then do something like this :

vehicle = Tag.new(name: "Vehicle")
vehicle.save!
car = Tag.new(name: "Car", parent: vehicle.id)
car.save!
audi = Tag.new(name: "Audi", parent: car.id)
audi.save!

audi.parents
# => [vehicle, car]
car.is_leaf?
# => false
car.is_node?
# => true

Installation

Run gem install forestify or add this line to your Gemfile gem 'forestify' then run bundle install

Although I will add generators later, you still need to manually add migrations to make your models "forestify-ready".

change_table :tags do |t|
    t.string :name
    t.integer :left_position
    t.integer :right_position
    t.integer :level
end

forestify
