Static Content

Static Content provides an easy way of defining static content in your application.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'static_content'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install static_content

After install the gem, you just need run the install generator:

$ rails g static_content:install

The content we create can be normal text or a markdown. Let`s see the way we can create a content.

You can create as a normal model with:

Content.create({slug: :about_title, text: "My awesome about page"}, as: :admin)

special attention to the as: :admin, the fields is only acessible to admin.

This is intended to be used with admin panels such as Typus or ActiveAdmin.

The better way is to use the Content.from_slug like:

Content.from_slug(:about_title, default: "My awesome about page")

as this uses find_or_initialize, if is a new slug its create, if a old one its only return the value not raising a error.

So you can use this on a seed for example to create the default things.

Show your content as html converted from markdown, in your view, just add:

<%= c :about_title, default: "# My awesome about page" %>

to be converted into

<h1>My awesome about page</h1>

Please note that a default option is required. If it hasn't been created, it will be created upon the first request.

Show your raw content, in your view, just add:

<%= rc :about_title, default: "# My awesome about page" %>

no change the value as

# My awesome about page

Please note that a default option is required. If it hasn't been created, it will be created upon the first request.

Static Content generates a model Content and a table contents, so your app should not contain this model and table.

Static Content follow the Semantic Versioning.
