github.com/midas/ssn

Encapsulates functionality for storing an unformatted SSN but formatting the SSN on print.

• Store a SSN unformatted in a database field with auto formatting when using.

• SocialSecurityNumber class to use for formatting SSNs.

• active_record >= 2.3

gem sources -a http://gemcutter.org
sudo gem install ssn

Add to environment file:

gem 'ssn', '~>1.0.0'

Run:

bundle:install

Add to environment file:

config.gem 'ssn', :version => '~>1.0.0', :source => 'http://gemcutter.org'

Run:

sudo rake:gems:install

Add a raw_ssn that is at least 9 in length to the database table of the model you desire to track a SSN on.

Specify usage in your model:

class Person
  has_ssn :ssn
  ...
end

Use the field:

person = Peson.new :ssn => '123456789'
person.ssn                                # => 123-45-6789
person.ssn = '123-45-6789'
person.ssn                                # => 123-45-6789

ssn = Ssn::SocialSecurityNumber.new( '123456789' )

ssn.raw       # => 123456789
ssn.formatted # => 123-45-6789

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
