Ordered Attributes

This Ruby on Rails plugin provides a way to order ActiveRecord attributes for using them for csv exports or automated table generation.

Installation

git clone git://github.com/steffen/ordered_attributes.git vendor/plugins/ordered_attributes

or if you are on edge rails

script/plugin install git://github.com/steffen/ordered_attributes.git

Example

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base

attr_order :name, :street, :zip, :city

attr_groups :address => [:street, :zip, :city], :birth => [:date_of_birth, :place_of_birth], // you can use %w(date_of_birth place_of_birth) as well :all => [:name, :address, :birth]

end

Use the ordered_attributes method to get the ordered attributes:

Person.ordered_attributes => [:name, :street, :zip, :city]

Person.ordered_attributes(:all) => [:name, :street, :zip, :city, :date_of_birth, :place_of_birth]

See spec/ordered_attributes_spec.rb for more Examples!
