Instance Method Details

#has_friendly_id(column, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Set up an ActiveRecord model to use a friendly_id.

The column argument can be one of your model’s columns, or a method you use to generate the slug.

Options:

  • :use_slug - Defaults to false. Use slugs when you want to use a non-unique text field for friendly ids.

  • :max_length - Defaults to 255. The maximum allowed length for a slug.

  • :strip_diacritics - Defaults to false. If true, it will remove accents, umlauts, etc. from western characters.

  • :strip_non_ascii - Defaults to false. If true, it will all non-ascii ([^a-z0-9]) characters.

  • :reserved - Array of words that are reserved and can’t be used as friendly_id’s. For sluggable models, if such a word is used, it will be treated the same as if that slug was already taken (numeric extension will be appended). Defaults to [“new”, “index”].

  • :reserved_message - The validation message that will be shown when a reserved word is used as a frindly_id. Defaults to ‘“%s” is reserved’.
