Document Number

Document Number lets you automacally assign number sequences for your rails models.

1. Add Document Number to your Gemfile

   gem 'document_number', '~> 0.10.0'

2. Generate a migration which will add a document_numbers table to your database

   bundle exec rails generate document_numbers:install

3. Run the migration

   bundle exec rake db:migrate

4. Declare has_document_number in your model to automatic document number assignment:

class Invoice < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_document_number
end

Document Number has several configuration options, which you can configure, both globally and on a per-model basis:

# config/initializers/document_number.rb
DocumentNumber.prefix = 'server/'

Or alternatively:

class Invoice < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_document_number prefix: 'server/', start: 5000
end

Available options:

Document Number automacally assigns number when you saving your model. If you want to create number just after initialization use :with_number attribute:

Invoice.new with_number: true

If you want to get a bunch of numbers use model method get_numbers:

irb(main):001>Invoice.get_numbers(3)
=> ['server/1', 'server/2', 'server/3']
