Slugs

Inspired in friendly_id but more minimalistic.

Install

Put this line in your Gemfile:

gem 'slugs'

Then bundle:

$ bundle

Usage

Add the column in your migration:

t.string :slug

(If you are using translatable_records you need to place the column in the translation table, this has been done this way because it’s easier to maintain and your queries will be faster avoiding extra joins)

Update your db:

rake db:migrate

Call the has_slug method in your model:

If you want to use the value of one field:

has_slug :prop

To concatenate the value of multiple fields:

has_slug :prop1, :prop2, :prop3

Or if you need a very custom slug you can use a lambda, proc or block:

has_slug proc { |record| "#{record.prop}-custom" }
