Will can help you to inject easy identifiers into your ActiveRecord models.
It will:
- set up a
before_savecallback to setidentifier - override
to_paramto returnidentifier - give you a
short_identiferthat returns the first 12 chars ofidentifier
Rightnow its very opinonated and not configurable in any way, this might change.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'mad_id'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install mad_id
class YourModel < ActiveRecord::Base
identify_with :foo
end
after you create the object it will have the identifier attribute set to
"foo-<UUID>"
If your not using Rails you'll have to include MadId on your own
class YourModel < ActiveRecord::Base
include MadID
identify_with :baz
end
You can access all registered identifiers and the associated class via MadID's registry
MadID.registry
# => { 'foo' => YourModel }
MadID.locate("pny-1312313412")
# => #Object:Pony:1312313412
