CHANGELOG.rdoc

1.1 (Oct 14, 2011)¶ ↑

• added a spec to test the rails generator using ammeter gem

• Gemfile cleanup, moved all dependencies in gemspec instead

• edited the dependency to Rails 3.1 and newer, now that Rails 3.1 has been released

• new role scoping capabilities

  • instance level : user.has_role "moderator", Forum.first (already supported in previous release). user has the moderator role only on that Forum in particular

  • class level : user.has_role "moderator", Forum. User has the moderator role on all instances of Forum

  • global level : user.has_role "moderator" (already supported in previous release). User has the moderator role globally (e.q. on all resources)

• new scoped query capabilities

  • user.has_role? "moderator", Forum.first (already supported in previous release). asks if the user has the moderator role on Forum.first instance

  • user.has_role? "moderator", Forum. asks if the user has the moderator role on all Forum instances

  • user.has_role? "moderator" (already supported in previous release). asks if the user has the global moderator role

  • user.has_role? "moderator", :any. asks if the user has at least one moderator role no matter the scope is (instance, class or global).

1.0 (Aug 25, 2011)¶ ↑

• added a new parameter to disable dynamic shortcut methods due to potential incompatibility with other gems using method_missing with the same pattern

  • add Rolify.dynamic_shortcuts = false in the initializer file or

  • use the generator command with a third parameter:

    • rails g rolify:role Role User false

• removed the railtie as it created more problems than it solved

• code refactoring to do some speed improvements and code clean up

• added a lot of specs to improve tests coverage

• wrote a tutorial showing how to use rolify with CanCan and Devise

• rolify is now on travis-ci to monitor build status

0.7 (June 20, 2011)¶ ↑

• added a method_missing to catch newly created role outside the current ruby process (i.e. dynamic shortcut methods are not defined within this process)

  • dynamic shortcut is created on the fly in the method_missing to avoid extra method_missing for the same dynamic shortcut

  • check if the role actually exists in the database before defining the new method

  • first call is slower due to method_missing but next calls are fast

  • avoid strange bugs when spawning many ruby processes as the dynamic shortcut methods were only defined in the process that used the has_role command

0.6 (June 19, 2011)¶ ↑

• custom User and Role class names support

  • can now use other class names for Role and User classes

  • fixed generators and templates

  • join table is explicitly set to avoid alphabetical order issue

• created a new railtie to load the dynamic shortcuts at startup

0.5.1 (June 07, 2011)¶ ↑

• fixed a nasty typo on a variable name and added a spec to make it never happen again

0.5 (June 07, 2011)¶ ↑

• dynamic shortcuts support

  • creates automatically new methods upon new role creation (or at startup for a Rails app)

  • has_role "admin" will create a method called is_admin?

  • has_role "moderator", Forum.first will create 2 methods:

    * <tt>is_moderator_of?(resource)</tt>
    * <tt>is_moderator?</tt>

v0.4 (June 07, 2011)¶ ↑

• removing role support

  • has_no_role removes a global role or a role scoped to a resource

  • Please note that trying to remove a global role whereas the user a role with the same name on a resource will remove that scoped role

  • Trying to remove a role scoped to a resource whereas the user has a global role won’t remove it

v0.3 (June 06, 2011)¶ ↑

• multiple roles check:

  • has_all_roles? returns true if the user has ALL the roles in arguments

  • has_any_role? returns true if the user has ANY the roles in arguments

v0.2 (June 04, 2011)¶ ↑

• fixed the generator to include the lib

• fixed the migration file with missing polymorphic field

• added some examples in documentation

v0.1 (June 04, 2011)¶ ↑

• first release
