sluggit

Simple gem for Rails projects to slugify URLs based on any model attribute

Pre-requisite: The model that needs to be slugified has to have a column titled 'slug' in its table.

If it doesn't, follow steps 1 through 3, else, skip to 4:

1. Add the 'slug' column to the model table using a migration rails g migration add_slug_column_to_table

2. Add the following content to the change method in the generated migration file: add_column :users, :slug, :string Note: Replace the :users with the appropriate model name

3. Run bundle exec rake db:migrate to add the column

4. Add the line require 'slugable' to application.rb to enable inclusion in any model

5. Add the following code to the model class which you want to slugify:

include Slugable
set_slug_column_to :username

Note: replace :username with any attribute name for the model you want to use to 'slugify' it.
