IsPublished

Simple RubyGem which adds scope .published to any rails model you want!

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'is_published'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it manually on local machine

$ gem install is_published

Gem comes with migrations and model generator, you can create one with this command:

rails g is_published:install [MODEL NAME]

For example:

rails g is_published:install Article  

which will create model and migrations with provided name.

Migration will look like this

class CreateArticles < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    create_table :articles do |t|
      t.string :title
      t.string :body
      t.boolean :published, default: false
      t.timestamps
    end
  end
end

Model class comes with already extended gem scope, its going to look like this one

class Article < ApplicationRecord
  extend IsPublished::Scopes
end

If needed, you can customize migrations before running them.

After running generator command, run migration.

rails db:migrate

If your model table already exists, you can create migration to add published column like this:

rails g migration AddPublishedColumnToPosts published:boolean

Generated migration should now look like this:

class AddPublishedColumnToPosts < ActiveRecord::Migration[6.0]
  def change
    add_column :posts, :published, :boolean, default: false
  end
end

Default value of 'published' should be 'false', rails generator doesnt allow that in generator command, you have to edit migration by yourself.

When database is ready, you can start with gem setup.

Add code below to any Ruby class to add scope .where(published: true)

class Post < ApplicationRecord
  # Here you extend your class with gem
  extend IsPublished::Scopes
end

Now you are done.

After you are done with migrations and model setup, you can use published scope like this.

Post.published 
#=>  => #<Post id: 1, title: "Published post", user_id: 1, published: true, created_at: "2019-06-07 14:42:22", updated_at: "2019-06-07 16:51:07">

Post.find(1).published?
#=> true

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
