ActiveView helper to generate Bootstrap buttons and dropdown-buttons.
## Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
```ruby
gem 'buttons_for'
```
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install buttons_for
Run generator to add I18n locales:
$ rails generate buttons_for:install
The gem depends on [Bootstrap 3](http://getbootstrap.com/) to create buttons and dropdown-buttons. Bring bootstrap into
your project by using [Bootstrap for Sass](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass) or you preferred method.
`buttons_for` depends on [Font Awesome][fontawesome] icon and CSS
framework, bring [Font Awesome][fontawesome] into your project using
[font-awesome-rails][fontawesomerails] or your preferred method.
## Screenshot
## Usage
`buttons_for` has multiple helper methods. The API is intentionally made
quite simple and does not support url generation or any advanced
functionallity. It's just ment as a thin wrapper around `link_to` and
should pass the options transparently.
The helpers you'll use the most provide buttons with a color and a
leading icon. The following standard buttons can be used: `new`, `edit`,
`delete` and `export`. These buttons are just wrappers around the `button` helper
giving it options containing icon and button class.
`buttons_for` also provides a helper for creating dropdown buttons. Use
`dropdown` with a block containing `link` elements to achive this.
Example show button menu:
```erb
<%= buttons_for do |b| %>
<%= b.dropdown :actions do %>
<%= b.link "Projects", company_projects_path(@company), icon: "list" %>
<% end %>
<%= b.button t(".lock"), lock_company_path(@company), icon: "lock", class: "btn-default" %>
<%= b.edit edit_company_path(@company) %>
<%= b.delete company_path(@company) %>
<% end %>
```
Example index button menu:
```erb
<%= buttons_for do |b| %>
<%= b.new url_for(action: :new) %>
<%= b.export url_for(format: :csv) %>
<% end %>
```
## Options
Available options:
* __:label__ - Override standard label.
* __:class__ - Appendse given string to existing CSS classes.
* __:icon__ - Prefix or replace exsiting icon.
## Translations
The installer copies the file `buttons_for.en.yml` into your
`config/locales/` directory. Add a corresponding file with your own
locale to translate the buttons.
## Sample
Sample applicaiton using `buttons_for` can be found [here](https://github.com/blacktangent/buttons_for-demo).
