My First Rails Plugin

Date Arrow  December 4, 2007

I’ve just published my first Ruby on Rails plugin! As it couldn’t be otherwise, it’s called “Acts as Manifesto” (following the long tradition of “acts as” plugins in the Rails world) and you can find the project page here.

It is the simplest possible plugin, adding a generator to your Rails application. This generator allows you to create a “manifesto” and a “signature” model to your application, and as you can guess, a manifesto can have several signatures. Simple and fast way to have such a system up and running in no time.

It is hosted on Google Code, and I plan to make some adjustments to it later. Do not hesitate to post your comments here! I would love to know if you find it useful.

    Seems nice ! I have no usage for it at the moment, but thanks for sharing anyway ! :-)

    Speaking of “acts as…” plugins, have you heard of “acts as ferret” ? If no, you should have a look (http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki) : it adds full search capability to any model !

    It is really amazing how easy it is to implement a search controller in a ruby on rails webapp (and it really made me wonder why people are choosing other language to do any web development).
