I was very pleased to learn earlier tonight that acts_as_state_machine has become infinitely hipper.
- It’s on github, making patches oh so easy to push
- It works with any class, not just active record
- The “state” column is renamed to aasm_state so that you can have a city, state and zip in your active record model (man that was a pain before)
- It’s a gem (in both senses of the word)
- It’s tested with specs, and there’s decent coverage
- The api is basically the same, making it easy to upgrade
It still has the same issues that the old subversion plugin had, so I incorporated my acts_as_state_machine_hacks plugin into my own fork of aasm on github, which you can check out at http://github.com/zilkey/aasm/wikis
I also published some rdocs for my fork at http://aasm.zilkey.com/
Thanks to Scott Barron for updating me on the latest changes, and for a killer gem.
To install my fork of the app:
1 2 3 4 5 |
git clone git://github.com/zilkey/aasm.git aasm
cd aasm
rake gem
sudo uninstall aasm # => if you already have a version installed
sudo gem install pkg/aasm-3.0.0.gem
|
Enjoy!
