This is a gem intended to make (bootstrap-)menu generation clean and easy.

Add the following to your Gemfile

gem 'navigator_rails'

And run

bundle install

Run

rails g navigator_rails:install

to get the initializer under

config/initializers/navigator.rb

Customizer the brand to your needs.

Put

include NavigatorRails::Navigatable

in every controller, which may add menu_items

Then add the menu_items like follows:

menu_item path: unix_like_path_of_item_position, constraint: ruby_code_as_string_should_return_true_for_displaying, content: ruby_code_which_will_be_embedded, active_on: action_name_of_as_symbol, order: unique_integer, type: decorator_type_as_symbol

Example:

menu_item path: '/head/left/Posts/new', constraint: 'can? :create, Post', content: 'link_to "Posts", new_post_path', order: 1, active_on: :new

The menu-builder will create the missing items in between the item and the root-item applying the decorators defined in

NavigatiorRails.config[:decorators]
