1
+ = FriendlyId
2
+
3
+ FriendlyId is the "Swiss Army bulldozer" of slugging and permalink plugins for
4
+ Ruby on Rails. It allows you to create pretty URL's and work with
5
+ human-friendly strings as if they were numeric ids for ActiveRecord models.
6
+
7
+ Using FriendlyId, it's easy to make your application use URL's like:
8
+
9
+ http://example.com/states/washington
10
+
11
+ instead of:
12
+
13
+ http://example.com/states/4323454
14
+
15
+ You can always read the latest version of this document at the {friendly_id page on
16
+ rdoc.info}[http://rdoc.info/projects/norman/friendly_id].
17
+
18
+ === Why?
19
+
20
+ * Text-based id's look better
21
+ * They make URL's easier to remember.
22
+ * They give no hint about the number of records in your database.
23
+ * They are better for search engine optimization.
24
+
25
+ === But...
26
+
27
+ * They can change, breaking your URL's and your SEO.
28
+ * It can be tricky to ensure they're always unique.
29
+ * They can become a pain to manage in large Rails applications.
30
+ * They can conflict with your application's namespace.
31
+
32
+ FriendlyId tries to offer you the all the advantages, and avoid or soften the
33
+ potential impact of the disadvantages.
34
+
35
+ == Typical Uses
36
+
37
+ === User names ("non-slugged" models)
38
+
39
+ Usually users have unique user names stored in a column with a unique
40
+ constraint or index. In this case, all you need to do is add this to your
41
+ model:
42
+
43
+ has_friendly_id :login
44
+
45
+ and you can then write code like this:
46
+
47
+ @member = Member.find("joe") # the old Member.find(1) still works, too.
48
+ @member.to_param # returns "joe"
49
+ redirect_to @member # The URL would be /members/joe
50
+
51
+ === Blog posts ("slugged" models)
52
+
53
+ Blog posts generally have titles which are distinctive but not necessarily
54
+ unique. In this and similar cases, FriendlyId provides a Slug model separate
55
+ from your Post model. The Slug model handles duplicate friendly_ids, as well
56
+ as versioning.
57
+
58
+ Your model code would look something like this:
59
+
60
+ has_friendly_id :title, :use_slug => true
61
+
62
+ and you can then write code like this:
63
+
64
+ @post = Post.find("new-version-released") # Post.find(1) still works, too
65
+ @post.to_param # returns "new-version-released"
66
+ redirect_to @post # The URL would be /posts/new-version-released
67
+
68
+ Now in your controllers, if you want to prevent people from accessing your
69
+ models by numeric id, you can detect whether they were found by the
70
+ friendly_id:
71
+
72
+ @post = Post.find(params[:id])
73
+ raise "some error" if !@post.found_using_friendly_id?
74
+
75
+ or, you can 301 redirect if the model was found by the numeric id if you don't
76
+ care about numeric access, but want the SEO value of the friendly_id:
77
+
78
+ @post = Post.find(params[:id])
79
+ redirect_to @post, :status => 301 if @post.has_better_id?
80
+
81
+ The "has_better_id?" method returns true if the model was found with the
82
+ numeric id, or with an outdated slug.
83
+
84
+ == Extra Features
85
+
86
+ === Slug Versioning
87
+
88
+ FriendlyId will record changes to slugs so that you can tell when the model is
89
+ found with an older slug, or by the numeric id. This can be useful if you want
90
+ to do a 301 redirect to your updated URL.
91
+
92
+ class PostsController < ApplicationController
93
+
94
+ before_filter ensure_current_post_url, :only => :show
95
+
96
+ ...
97
+
98
+ def ensure_current_post_url
99
+ redirect_to @post, :status => :moved_permanently if @post.has_better_id?
100
+ end
101
+
102
+ end
103
+
104
+ This is particularly useful when implementing FrindlyId on an existing
105
+ website that already has many URL's with the old numeric id listed on search
106
+ engines. When the search engine spiders crawl your site, they will
107
+ eventually pick up the new, more SEO-friendly URL's.
108
+
109
+ === Non-unique Slug Names
110
+
111
+ FriendlyId will append a arbitrary number to the end of the id to keep it
112
+ unique if necessary:
113
+
114
+ /posts/new-version-released
115
+ /posts/new-version-released--2
116
+ /posts/new-version-released--3
117
+ ...
118
+ etc.
119
+
120
+ Note that the number is preceeded by two dashes to distinguish it from the
121
+ rest of the slug. This is important to enable having slugs like:
122
+
123
+ /cars/peugeot-206
124
+ /cars/peugeot-206--2
125
+
126
+ === Reserved Names
127
+
128
+ You can mark off some strings as reserved so that, for example, you don't end
129
+ up with this problem:
130
+
131
+ /users/joe-schmoe # A user chose "joe schmoe" as his user name - no worries.
132
+ /users/new # A user chose "new" as his user name, and now no one can sign up.
133
+
134
+ Here's how to do it:
135
+
136
+ class Restaurant < ActiveRecord::Base
137
+ belongs_to :city
138
+ has_friendly_id :name, :use_slug => true, :reserved => ["my", "values"]
139
+ end
140
+
141
+ As of FriendlyId version 2.0.2, "new" and "index" are reseved by default. When
142
+ you attempt to store a reserved value, FriendlyId raises a
143
+ FriendlyId::SlugGenerationError.
144
+
145
+ === Cached slugs
146
+
147
+ Checking the slugs table all the time has an impact on performance, so as of
148
+ 2.3.0, FriendlyId offers slug caching.
149
+
150
+ This feature can improve the performance of some views by about 25%, and reduce
151
+ memory consumption by about 40% as compared to the same view without cached
152
+ slugs. The biggest improvement will be for "index" type views with many links
153
+ that depend on slugs to generate the URL.
154
+
155
+ ==== Automagic setup:
156
+
157
+ To enable slug caching, simply add a column named "cached_slug" to your model.
158
+ FriendlyId will automagically use this column if it detects it:
159
+
160
+ class AddCachedSlugToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
161
+ def self.up
162
+ add_column :users, :cached_slug, :string
163
+ end
164
+
165
+ def self.down
166
+ remove_column :users, :cached_slug
167
+ end
168
+ end
169
+
170
+ Then, redo the slugs:
171
+
172
+ rake friendly_id:redo_slugs MODEL=User
173
+
174
+ This feature exists largely to improve the performance of URL
175
+ generation, the part of Rails where FriendlyId has the biggest
176
+ performance impact. FriendlyId never queries against this column, so
177
+ it's not necessary to add an index on it unless your application does.
178
+
179
+ Two warnings when using this feature:
180
+
181
+ *DO NOT* forget to redo the slugs, or else this feature will not work!
182
+
183
+ Also, this feature uses +attr_protected+ to protect the cached_slug
184
+ column, unless you have already invoked +attr_accessible+. So if you
185
+ wish to use +attr_accessible+, you must invoke it BEFORE you invoke
186
+ +has_friendly_id+ in your class.
187
+
188
+ ==== Using a custom column name:
189
+
190
+ You can also use a different name for the column if you choose, via the
191
+ :cache_column config option:
192
+
193
+ class User < ActiveRecord::Base
194
+ has_friendly_id :name, :use_slug => true, :cache_column => 'my_cached_slug'
195
+ end
196
+
197
+ === Scoped Slugs
198
+
199
+ FriendlyId can generate unique slugs within a given scope. For example:
200
+
201
+ class Restaurant < ActiveRecord::Base
202
+ belongs_to :city
203
+ has_friendly_id :name, :use_slug => true, :scope => :city
204
+ end
205
+
206
+ class City < ActiveRecord::Base
207
+ has_many :restaurants
208
+ has_friendly_id :name, :use_slug => true
209
+ end
210
+
211
+ http://example.org/cities/seattle/restaurants/joes-diner
212
+ http://example.org/cities/chicago/restaurants/joes-diner
213
+
214
+ Restaurant.find("joes-diner", :scope => "seattle") # returns 1 record
215
+ Restaurant.find("joes-diner", :scope => "chicago") # returns 1 record
216
+ Restaurant.find("joes-diner") # returns both records
217
+
218
+
219
+ The value for the :scope key in your model can be a custom method you define,
220
+ or the name of a relation. If it's the name of a relation, then the scope's
221
+ text value will be the result of calling <code>to_param</code> on the related
222
+ model record. In the example above, the city model also uses FriendlyId and so
223
+ its <code>to_param</code> method returns its friendly_id: chicago or seattle.
224
+
225
+ This feature is new in FriendlyId 2 and should be considered of experimental
226
+ quality. Please don't use this for code that needs to run on the Space
227
+ Shuttle.
228
+
229
+ === Text Normalization
230
+
231
+ FriendlyId's slugging can strip diacritics from Western European characters,
232
+ so that you can have ASCII-only URL's; for example, conveting "ñøîéçü" to
233
+ "noiecu."
234
+
235
+ has_friendly_id :title, :use_slug => true, :strip_diacritics => true
236
+
237
+ If you are not using slugs, you'll have to do this manually for whatever value
238
+ you're using as the friendly_id.
239
+
240
+ === Diacritic-sensitive normalization
241
+
242
+ FriendlyId can also normalize slug text while preserving accented characters, if
243
+ you prefer to leave them in your URL's:
244
+
245
+ has_friendly_id :title, :use_slug => true
246
+ ...
247
+ @post = Post.create(:title => "¡Feliz Año!")
248
+ @post.friendly_id # "feliz-año"
249
+
250
+ === Unicode URL's
251
+
252
+ FriendlyId can generate slugs in any language that can be written with
253
+ Unicode. It does its best to strip away punctuation regardless of the language
254
+ being used. Since the authors only speak English, Spanish, Portuguese and
255
+ German, this has not been extensively tested with anything like Chinese,
256
+ Russian, Greek, etc, but it "should work." If you're a speaker of a language
257
+ that uses a non-Roman writing system, your feedback would be most welcome.
258

266
+ === Custom Slug Generation
267
+
268
+ While FriendlyId's slug generation options work for most people, you may need
269
+ something else. As of version 2.0.4 you can pass in your own custom slug
270
+ generation block:
271
+
272
+ class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
273
+ has_friendly_id :title, :use_slug => true do |text|
274
+ MySlugGeneratorClass::my_slug_method(text)
275
+ end
276
+ end
277
+
278
+ FriendlyId will still respect your settings for max length and reserved words,
279
+ but will use your block rather than the baked-in methods to normalize the
280
+ friendly_id text.
281
+
282
+ == Getting it
283
+
284
+ FriendlyId is best installed as a Ruby Gem:
285
+
286
+ gem install friendly_id
287
+
288
+ Alternatively, you can install it as a Rails plugin, though this is
289
+ discouraged:
290
+
291
+ ./script/plugin install git://github.com/norman/friendly_id.git
292
+
293
+ == Setting it up
294
+
295
+ The current release works with Rails 2.2 and above, and is compatible with
296
+ Ruby 1.8 and 1.9.
297
+
298
+ 1) Install the Gem:
299
+
300
+ sudo gem install friendly_id
301
+ cd my_app
302
+ script/generate friendly_id
303
+ rake db:migrate
304
+
305
+ 2) Add the gem to config/environment.rb:
306
+
307
+ config.gem "friendly_id"
308
+
309
+ 3) Add some code to your models:
310
+
311
+ class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
312
+ has_friendly_id :title, :use_slug => true
313
+ end
314
+
315
+ 4) If you are using slugs, you can use a Rake task to generate slugs for your
316
+ existing records:
317
+
318
+ rake friendly_id:make_slugs MODEL=MyModelName
319
+
320
+ If you eventually want to expire old slugs every so often, or perhaps every
321
+ day via cron, you can do:
322
+
323
+ rake friendly_id:remove_old_slugs
324
+
325
+ The default is to remove dead slugs older than 45 days, but is configurable:
326
+
327
+ rake friendly_id:remove_old_slugs MODEL=MyModelName DAYS=60
328
+
329
+ == Installing an older version
330
+
331
+ You can download older versions of FriendlyId from Github that work with Rails <
332
+ 2.2. These versions are, however, no longer maintained or supported.
333
+
334
+ == Hacking FriendlyId:
335
+
336
+ FriendlyId is {hosted on Github}[git://github.com/norman/friendly_id.git], and
337
+ we love pull requests. :-)
338
+
339
+ == Bugs:
340
+
341
+ Please report them on the {Github issue tracker}[http://github.com/norman/friendly_id/issues]
342
+ for this project.
343
+
344
+ If you have a bug to report, please include the following information:
345
+
346
+ * Stack trace and error message.
347
+ * Version information for FriendlyId, Rails and Ruby.
348
+ * Any snippets of relevant model, view or controller code that shows how your are using FriendlyId.
349
+
350
+ If you are able to, it helps even more if you can fork FriendlyId on Github, and
351
+ add a test that reproduces the error you are experiencing.
