archivable Build Status
Archive your Rails models rather than delete them. This provides the archiving functionality app so you can do the following:
user.archived? #=> false user.archive! #=> true user.archived? #=> true user.unarchive! #=> true user.archived? #=> false
<% if user.archived? %> <%= link_to :Archive, archive_user_path(user) %> <% else %> <%= link_to :Unarchive, archive_user_path(user) %> <% end %>
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'archivable'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install archivable
First, you need to add the archived column to your model (which we we call User for this example):
$ rails g migration add_archived_to_users archived:boolean
$ rake db:migrate
NOTE: remember to edit the migration and set :archived column to default to false in order to simplify querying for non-archived models.
add_column :users, :archived, :boolean, default: false
In your routes file (config/routes.rb):
My::Application.routes.draw do resources :users do get archive, on: :member get archived, on: :collection end end
Next, you need to include the model concern to gain access to some handy methods.
class User < ActiveRecord::Base include Archivable::Model # ... end
Lastly, you need to include the controller concern to handle the controller actions.
class UsersController < ApplicationController include Archivable::Controller def index @users = User.where(archived: false) end # ... end
Now, instead of a delete link, you can do the following:
<%= link_to user.archived? ? :Unarchive : :Archive, archive_user_path(user) %> <%= link_to 'See Archived Users', archived_users_path %>
