README
ActsAsCurrency
==============
There's a problem in ActiveRecord. Let's say you have a field in a table that's supposed to be money, for example:
add_column :products, :price, :decimal
and you have an entry form on your website for admins to add products. Without even thinking, they will likely type the
price with a dollar sign ('$'). If you follow the principal of least surprise, you will need to support this scenario.
However, since ActiveRecord interprets the type as a decimal (since that's how it is in the database), you will get a
silent fail in which all of your prices are 0! This is because all characters after the first non-number are
interpreted as 0. That's where acts_as_currency comes in. Add it to your model and pass in any price fields, and they
will all be able to take a '$'. Hope you enjoy! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at
joe@faithfulgeek.org.
Install
=======
This project is hosted on github. There are a few options for installing it.
#1 Using git-rails gem
- This is by far the easiest method. Install git-rails by issuing:
sudo gem install git-rails (Windows: gem install git-rails)
git-rails install git://github.com/faithfulgeek/acts_as_currency.git
#2 Using git-clone
- This method requires that you have Git installed (might as well do it, it's a great alternative to svn)
- Assumes your current working directory is your rails app root
cd vendor/plugins
git-clone git://github.com/faithfulgeek/acts_as_currency.git acts_as_currency
#3 Source Tarball
- If you cannot access Git at all, use this link https://github.com/faithfulgeek/acts_as_currency/tarball/master to
download the source tarball
cd vendor/plugins
mkdir acts_as_currency && cd acts_as_currency
tar xvcf faithfulgeek-acts-as-currency-master.tar.gz
Troubles? Let me know! joe@faithfulgeek.org
Example
=======
class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_currency :price, :discount_price
end
For an example of the problem and how acts_as_currency solves it, please see specs/acts_as_currency_spec.rb. If you
have rspec installed you can play around with different values and see how it all works.
