Staff bar
Staff bar is a tiny utility for Ruby on Rails projects. It shows a bar with some basic project information: commit hash, branch, Ruby & Rails versions, environment and caching status. You can also make a list of links that you want to show on a bar for a quick access to your internal tools.
Usage
# Add this to Gemfile
gem 'staff_bar'
# Install dependencies
bundleAdd this to app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:
...
</head>
<body>
<%= staff_bar if current_user.staff? %>
<%= yield %>
</body>
...(you can change current_user.staff? to whatever your administrators logic is of course.)
Add this to your application.css to use default styles:
*= require staff_barTo show current branch, add staff_bar capistrano tasks in Capfile:
require "staff_bar/capistrano"This will create BRANCH file when deploying, which will staff bar use to show the branch.
