Pubdraft

Quickly add published/drafted states to your ActiveRecord models, with helpful scopes and instance methods for querying and changing the states

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'pubdraft'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install pubdraft

Usage

# requires string column `state` to exist
# $ rails g migration AddStateToMyModels state

class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
  pubdraft
end

record = MyModel.create!
record.published? #=> true

record.draft!
record.drafted?   #=> true

record.publish!
record.published? #=> true

MyModel.published #=> [published records]
MyModel.drafted   #=> [drafted records]

View Helpers

The gem provides a view helper to easily populate select boxes

  <%= f.select :state, pubdraft_state_options %>
