Slugworth

Simple slug functionality for your ActiveRecord objects

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

  gem 'slugworth'

and then execute

  bundle

or

install it yourself with

  gem install slugworth

Usage

Getting started is easy! Just ensure that your model has a database column of type String called slug

To use just add two declarations to your module and away you go!

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Slugworth
  slugged_with :name
end

This provides most of the default slug functionality you would need.

• A finder .find_by_slug is provided. This will, of course, do what you expect and find a single record by the slug attribute provided. However, it will throw an ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound exception... if not found.
• #to_param has been defined as a paramaterized version of the attribute declared to slugged_with.
• Validations stating that slug is present and unique in the database.
