Crossing borders: Extensions in Rails

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 08:54:12 GMT

If you've spent any time at all with Rails, you've doubtless noticed the acts_as commands in ActiveRecord. Though ActiveRecord deals with persistence, you often want to add behavior to your classes beyond database storage and retrieval. For example, by using acts_as_tree, you can add tree-like behavior to a class with a parent_id attribute. By saying nothing more than acts_as_tree in your ActiveRecord model, you can dynamically add methods to manage the tree, such as methods that retrieve the parent record or child record. Over the past month, I've been able to find Rails plug-ins to handle voting, versioning, Ajax, composite keys, and all manner of features that basic Rails doesn't support.
