Acts As Starred

Dead simple starring of items – like GMail

Usage

class YourModel < ActiveRecord::Base

acts_as_starred

end

This gets you:

YourModel#star! YourModel#unstar! YourModel#starred_by?(user/user_id) YourModel#starrings

That’s all there is to it.

Assumptions

It assumes that you are using this in conjunction with something like the userstamp plugin which assigns the current logged in user to created_by fields.

DB Structure

Need to add migration generator, but for now just copy this to a migration and add any extra required fields

class CreateStarrings < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :starrings do |t| t.column :created_by, :integer t.column :created_on, :datetime t.column :item_id, :integer t.column :item_type, :string end end end

def self.down
  drop_table :starrings
end

Testing

The tests use RSpec, so this needs to be installed in your rails app
