wonder_navigation

Rails Wonderful Navigation

Describe your Rails' menus and breadcrumbs in a single place, with support for permissions, fixed and resource based labels.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'wonder_navigation'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install wonder_navigation

Usage

In Rails, create a folder config/navigation/default and a file called config/navigation/default.yml. Inside the yml file you put the list of files that contains menu definitions:

---
default:
  - public
  - admin

After, create the corresponding files (config/navigation/default/public.rb, config/navigation/default/admin.rb):

WonderNavigation::Menu.register(:default) do
  label { "Begin" }
  path { root_path }
  menu :blog, "Blog" do #Non-linked menu level
    resource :posts, label: "Posts", path: posts_path do |index, new, show|
      show.label {|post| post.title.truncate(15) }
      # Here you can overwrite new and index entries

      menu :comments, "Comments", path: post_comments_path do
        menu :comment_show do
          label {|comment| "Comment from #{comment.author}" }
          path {|comment| post_comment_path(comment) }
          menu :comment_edit, "Editing" do
            path {|comment| edit_post_comment_path(comment)}
          end
        end
      end
    end
  end

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
