SocialCalc is a great JavaScript-based spreadsheet working on web browsers. However, it is a bit difficult to use it with Ruby on Rails applications because there is little information on it. Therefore, I have created a gem that allows you to use SocialCalc spreadsheets on Ruby on Rails application with ease.

See a sample Rails application at https://github.com/elm200/socialcalc-rails-sample.

gem 'socialcalc-rails'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install socialcalc-rails

$ rails g socialcalc:images

This command lets you to have SocialCalc related images installed under public/sc_images/.

Thanks for Socialcalc maintenance team's help.
