Sluggerize

A simple plugin that automatically generates a url friendly version of a column (a slug) for a model on create.

Usage

sluggerize :source_column, [options]

Source Column

If you don't provide a source column, it will default to looking for a "title" column.

Options

• as_params [False] If true, this will be used as the id of the object when creating URLs and you will be able to Object.find(slug)
• substitution_char - [-] The character to use when replacing spaces and other unsupported characters

Example

create_table "projects" do |t|
  t.string   "title"
  t.string   "slug"
end

class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
  sluggerize
end

Project.create(:title => 'A Very Happy Project')
Project.first.slug
=> 'a-very-happy-project'
