route_by

Route_By allows you to use a field other than ID for identifying object identities in your routes.

Install

To install, simply run the following command from your project:

script/plugin install https://github.com/gnoso/route_by.git

Usage

In your ActiveRecord model classes, simply add the route_by declaration:

class Car < ActiveRecord::Base
  route_by :name
end

As a result of this statement, assuming your class object (Car in this instance) has an ID of 114 and a :name attribute with the value "eleanor", the ID of the record is now eleanor instead of 114.
