ActsAsStarrable is a Rails Engine that allows you to easily add ratings (stars) to your models. Being an engine, it's a full-service add-on, providing views and controllers with sane defaults that will work for most use cases. In cases where it won't work, these can be easily overridden.
To install ActsAsStarrable, add acts_as_starrable to your Gemfile and run bundle install.
The ratings model can be built by running the following:
rails g acts_as_starrable:migration
rake db:migrate
Ratings can be added to a model as follows:
class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_starrable
end
Add the javascripts to your application.js
//= require jquery.rateit.min
//= require starrable
And styles to your application.css
*= require rateit
Finally, use the stars helper method in your view to display the partial:
<%= stars(@foo) %>
ActsAsStarrable uses the RateIt jQuery plugin and conforms to the schema.org Rating and AggregateRating schemata for SEO goodness.
