ActsAsCategorizable

This gem allows any model to be categorized.

Categories can be defined in a tree structure, allowing items to be structured. They also support slugs, so they can be used for Semantic URLs.

Usage (Rails 4+)

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'acts_as_categorizable'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install acts_as_categorizable

Installation

rails g acts-as-categorizable:migration <table_name> # default 'aac_categories'
rake db:migrate

Usage

class Page < ActiveRecord::Base
  acts_as_categorizable table_name: 'categories_table', # Default: 'aac_categories'
                        class_name: 'CustomCategory',   # Default: 'ActsAsCategorizable::Category'
                        dependent: :destroy             # Default: :nullify
end

TODO

There are still a lot of things to add to this gem. Consider it as a work in progress. Some of the missing stuff is:

• Unit testing
• Sortable categories
• Better searching functionality
