Semistatic

Provides a kind a simple way of creating editable pages.

Instalation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'semistatic'

And then run:

bundle install
rake semistatic:install:migrations
rake db:migrate

On the application route file

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  match ':slug.html' => 'semistatic/page_view#show', as: :page
  mount Semistatic::Engine => "/admin"
end

The config file

#config/semistatic.yaml
pages:
  about:
    parts:
      title:
        type: String
      body:
        type: Html
  profile:
    parts:
      avatar:
        type: image
        # paperclip styles. Use the original key to set the image size
        styles:
          original: 200x200>
          thumb: 50x50>
      about:
        type: html
      slogan:
        type: string

The templates

Create the templates inside app/views/templates. Use the the @presenter instance val to ouput the field content with <%= @presenter.output(:field_name) %>

about page: app/views/layouts/templates/about.html.erb

<h1><%= @presenter.output(:page_title) %></h1>

<div class="body">
  <%= @presenter.output(:body) %>
</div>

profile page: app/views/layouts/templates/profile.html.erb

<h1><%= @presenter.output(:page_title) %></h1>

<figure>
  <%= @presenter.output(:avatar) %>
</figure>

<p class="slogan"><%= @presenter.output(:slogan) %></p>

<div class="about"><%= @presenter.output(:about) %></div>

Overriding the controller

Semistatic uses the ActiveSupport::Concearn pattern to extend its functionalities.

To override, say, the crud controller, should create a file app/controllers/semistatic/pages_controller.rb with the following content:

# app/controllers/semistatic/pages_controller.rb

module Semistatic
  class PartsController < ApplicationController
    include Semistatic::Concerns::Controller::PartsController

    included do
      before_filter :require_authentication
    end
  end
end
