# AttrSlug

AttrSlug is an ActiveRecord concern that automatically generates slug fields using array of attributes.

## Installation

To install add the line to your `Gemfile`:

``` ruby
gem 'attr_slug'
```

And run `bundle install`.

## Usage

AttrSlug expects a `slug` column to exist on the model. It is good practice to add an unique index on the column.

``` ruby
# db/migrations/20180101000000_create_posts.rb
class CreatePosts < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.2]
def change
create_table :posts do |table|
table.column :content, :text
table.column :slug, :string, null: false, index: {unique: true)
table.column :title, :string, null: false
end
end
end
```

You then include the AttrSlug module in your model class and use the `attr_slug` macro to set your fields you wish to use to derive it's slug.

``` ruby
# app/models/post.rb
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
include AttrSlug

attr_slug :title, :id

validates :slug, presence: true, uniqueness: true
validates :title, presence: true
end
```

Using the examples above, creating a Post instance will automatically generate the slug field:

``` ruby
post = Post.create title: "Test Post"
post.slug # "test-post-1234"
```

AttrSlug doesn't modify any ActiveRecord finders. To automatically use the slug in URLs override the model's `to_param` method:

``` ruby
# app/models/post.rb
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
...

def to_param # overridden
slug
end
end
```

You should then use the following to retrieve your models in the controller:

```ruby
def show
@post = Post.find_by(slug: params[:id])
end
```

To autoload AttrSlug for all models, add the following to an initializer:

``` ruby
require 'attr_slug/active_record'
```

You then don't need to `include AttrSlug` in any model.
