Acts_as_network plugin

Rails
1

Hi everybody,
I just released by first Rails plugin! :slight_smile:
Even if it’s very simple, I hope that somebody will find it useful!

You can install it with the ‘plugin’ script:

$ script/plugin install
http://svn.pixzone.com/svn/public/plugins/acts_as_network

Anybody knows how to add my public svn repository to the plugin
repositories list?

enjoy! :slight_smile:

acts_as_network

This module adds the networking behaviour to an ActiveRecord model.
The networking logic will use a support table to create n:m
associations
between objects.

Example:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_network :join_table => friends,
:source_key => :id_user,
:destination_key => :id_friend
end

first = users(:first)
second = users(:second)

Add a new connection

first.connections << second

Associate a role to a connection if you

have the ‘role’ column in the join table

first.connections.push_with_attributes(second, :role => 2)
role = first.connections.find(second.id).role

check for inclusion

first.connections.include?(second)

Enjoy!
