= MakeWatchable

MakeWatchable is an extension for building a user-centric watching system for Rails 3 applications.

It currently supports ActiveRecord models.

* This repository is unfortunately no longer maintained. If this library is still relevant and you want to maintain it, I am happy to hand this repository over.

== Installation

add MakeWatchable to your Gemfile

  gem 'make_watchable'

afterwards execute

  bundle install

generate the required migration file

  rails generate make_watchable

migrate the database

  rake db:migrate

== Usage

  # Specify a model that can be watched.

  class Repository < ActiveRecord::Base

    make_watchable

  end

  # Specify a model that can watch a watchable.

  class User < ActiveRecord::Base

    make_watcher

  end

  # The user can now watch the watchable.

  # If the user is already watching the watchable then an AlreadyWatchingError is raised.

  user.watch!(repository)

  # The method without bang(!) does not raise the AlreadyWatchingError, but just return

  # false when the watcher tries to watch an already watching watchable.

  user.watch(repository)

  # The user may unwatch a watched watchable.

  # If the watch was never watching the watchable then an NotWatchingError is raised.

  user.unwatch!(repository)

  # The method without bang(!) does not raise the NotFlaggedError, but just returns false

  # if the watcher is not watching the watchable.

  user.unwatch(repository)

  # Get all watchings of a watchable.

  repository.watchings

  # Get the watcher of the watching.

  watching = repository.watchings.first

  user = watching.watcher

  # Watchings can also be accessed by its watcher.

  user.watchings

  # Check if the watcher watches a watchable

  user.watches?(repository)

  # Check if a watchable is watched by a watcher

  repository.watched_by?(user)

== Testing

MakeWatchable uses RSpec for testing and has a rake task for executing the provided specs

  rake spec

or simply

  rake
