Slugger

Super simple slugger Rails plugin.

Installation

script/plugin install git://github.com/sdbase/slugger.git

Example

By default Slugger expects the model to have a 'title' and 'slug' column.

class Awesome < ActiveRecord::Base
  slug
end

a = Awesome.new
a.title = "My Awesome Title"
a.valid?  # => true
a.slug    # => "my-awesome-title"

But custom column names can be used:

class Awesomer < ActiveRecord::Base
  slug :name, :as => :path
end

ar  = Awesomer.new
ar.name = "My Awesomer Name"
ar.valid?  # => true
ar.path    # => "my-awesomer-name"
