Linkety

Linkety is a collection of handy link helpers for Rails views. Helpers include current_link_to, active_link_to_if, and inactive_link_to_if.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'linkety'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install linkety

Sometimes you want to add a specific class to a link if you are currently on the page the link points to. Navigation menus are a classic example of this scenario. Simply use the current_link_to like so:

<ul class="main-menu">
  <li><%= current_link_to "Home", home_url %></li>
</ul>

When you are on the home page, this helper with output a link with a current class. You can change the default class name by defining a :current_class option. If you want match the current URL against a custom regex instead of an exact path match, simply pass in a regex object for the :pattern option.
