Gretel

A painfully simple tool for generating Rails based breadcrumbs.

Given

  Widget.find(1).to_s == ‘widget named sue’

  Routed Resource of :widgets

When

  Gretel.new(‘/widgets/1’).to_s

Then we get the following HTML

  <div id="breadcrumb_trail">
    <p>
      <a href='/'>home</a> &raquo; 
      <a href="/widgets">widgets</a> &raquo; 
      <a href="/widgets/1">widget named sue</a>

Thank you John Nunemaker (http://github.com/jnunemaker) for saying the original name sucked; In hindsight rails-breadcrumb-trail is kind of dumb.

Thank you Erik Runyon (http://github.com/erunyon) for the name. Much better than what it could have been.
