ActsAsTaggableOnDynamic

This plugin is an extension to the amazing acts-as-taggable-on plugin which allows to tag different models. The dynamic extension allows to use the standard rails form generators and integrates dynamic contexts for the tags. It's nothing more needed than adding some helpers into your form view. It's also using handlebars templates and the js inflections gem for the javascript logic in the form.

Versions 0.0.x are compatible with Ruby 1.9.3 and Rails 3.

Ensure that act-as-taggable-on is installed and well configured. To use this plugin, add it to your Gemfile:

group :assets do
  gem 'handlebars_assets'
  gem 'inflection-js-rails'
end

gem 'acts-as-taggable-on'
gem 'acts-as-taggable-on-dynamic'

and bundle:

bundle

Acts As Taggable On Dynamic uses RSpec for its test coverage. Inside the gem directory, you can run the specs with:

bundle
rake spec

If you want, add a .ruby-version file in the project root (and use rbenv or RVM) to work on a specific version of Ruby.

Add our javascript which comes through the gem to the asset pipeline by adding the following line in the application.js file:

//= require handlebars
//= require inflection
//= require taggable.dynamic

Mark your model as taggable with dynamic support

class Location < ActiveRecord::Base
  acts_as_taggable_dynamic
end

Add dynamic tag context support to your existing form (normally _form)

<%= tag_context_form_template(@location) %>
<%= form_for(@location) do |f| %>
    ...
    <%= tag_context_form(@location) %>
    <%= tag_context_add(@location) %>

    <div class="actions">
        <%= f.submit %>
    </div>
<% end %>

Add dynamic tag renderer to your details view (normally show.html.erb)

<% @location.tag_context_list.each do |context| %>
    <p>
      <b>Tags (Context - <%=context%>):</b>
      <%= @location.tag_list_on(context)%>
    </p>
<% end %>

Handle magic ownership

@model.tag_owner = @owner
....
@model.save!
