MagicRouting
============

MagicRouting allows for the creation of more meaningful URLs than you get out-of-the-box with Rails. Even when you 
override to_param for an ActiveRecord model, you still get ID-junk that doesn't make sense to end users (e.g., 
person/123-foo-smith). 

With this plugin, any path segment in a route that corresponds to an attribute on an ActiveRecord model object will be 
automatically retrieved from that object for the generated URL.

Notice that this makes changing your URL scheme very easy - all you have to do is update the identifying segments of the 
route, and your application is using, e.g., usernames instead of IDs, or vice versa.

Example
=======

Route:
map.username 'person/:username', :controller => 'people', :action => 'show'
map.id       'person/:id',       :controller => 'people', :action => 'show'

Use:
<%= url_for username_url(@person) %> => 'person/foo'
<%= url_for id_url(@person) %>       => 'person/123'
