ActsAsStarrable

ActsAsStarrable is a Rails Engine that allows you to easily add ratings (stars) to your models. Being an engine, it's a full-service add-on, providing views and controllers with sane defaults that will work for most use cases. In cases where it won't work, these can be easily overridden.

To install ActsAsStarrable, add acts_as_starrable to your Gemfile and run bundle install.

The ratings model can be built by running the following:

rails g acts_as_starrable:migration
rake db:migrate

Ratings can be added to a model as follows:

class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
  acts_as_starrable
end

Add the javascripts to your application.js

//= require jquery.rateit.min
//= require starrable

And styles to your application.css

 *= require rateit

Finally, use the stars helper method in your view to display the partial:

<%= stars(@foo) %>

ActsAsStarrable uses the RateIt jQuery plugin and conforms to the schema.org Rating and AggregateRating schemata for SEO goodness.
