menu-rails

This gem provide a set of helpers and methods that allow to easily generate a menu and identify the currently active link item.
Comes with support to generate menu from a YAML file in config directory, but supports generation even from database (or whatever you want).

• Threadsafe (not tested)
• Menu generation from YAML file
• Menu generation from any other source (database for example)
• Check which menu item is active
• Cancan support

You must create 2 classes which will respond to some methods:

A Menu class which must respond to:

• all_menu_items with an array of menu items
• Must include MenuRails::BaseMenu

A MenuItem class which must respond to:

• url String which must be a valid url
• text String which is text displayed to users
• authorization should return nil (will be displayed without checking through can?) or a hash like this: { can: :read, class_name: 'ApplicationController' } which will be used in can? method (view) and if false, will skip the item
• active_controller_only Boolean false if you want to check both against controller and action name if this link is currently active. If true, only controller will be checked
• active_method Symbol if not nil, will be called instead of standard active? method (and active_controller_only ignored)

The gem should be threadsafe

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'menu-rails', '~> 0.1.0'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install menu-rails

TODO: Write usage instructions here

• Split Menu and MenuItem classes into 2 pairs, MenuBase will not include anything related to has_no_table, same for MenuItemBase
• I18n support (very important, for menu text string)
