Slugtastic

Simple gem for autogenerating permalink style slugs for your ActiveRecord models.

Install

Add this to your Gemfile:

gem "slugtastic"

And run bundle install

Usage

Usage is very simple. Just add the following to your model:

has_slug :slug, :from => :title

This will generate a slug string from the title atrribute and store it in the slug attribute unless the slug already contains a string. The slug is generated pre-validation so you can still use validates_presence_of :slug.

There are no extra options at present.
