acts_as_restful_list¶ ↑
It’s just like acts_as_list, but instead of having to clutter your code with non-standard method calls like insert_at, acts_as_restful_list makes managing lists simple. You update the position attribute just like you would update anything else and the rest is taken care of for you.
Features¶ ↑
-
Automatically update your list’s order through standard REST methods
-
Support for Rails Optimistic Locking
Installation¶ ↑
#environment.rb config.gem 'acts_as_restful_list' # in Terminal rake gems:install
Usage¶ ↑
In your model:¶ ↑
class Item < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :parent acts_as_restful_list :scope => :parent end
Now, simply CRUD away:¶ ↑
item = Item.create item.position # 1 item2 = Item.create item.position # 2 item3 = Item.create item.position # 3 item.destroy item2.position # 1 item3.position # 2 item3.position = 1 item3.save item3.position # 1 item2.position # 2 different_parent = Item.create(:parent_id => 1) different_parent.position # 1
And that’s that.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests¶ ↑
-
Fork the project.

Make your feature addition or bug fix.

Add specs for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
-
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
-
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
