jquery-raty-rails is a Ruby gem that wraps the jQuery Raty plugin, allowing its image and Javascript files to be served via the Rails asset pipeline.
jQuery Raty is a useful "star rating" jQuery plugin.
This project is not officially associated with the jQuery Raty project.
jquery-raty-rails requires Rails 3, since it depends on the asset pipeline.
To install, add one of the following to your Rails project's Gemfile:
gem 'jquery-raty-rails' # Released version
gem 'jquery-raty-rails', github: 'bmc/jquery-raty-rails' # Bleeding edge
Then, install the gem by running bundle install.
Modify the Sprockets manifest in your application.js file to include
one of the following, depending on whether you want to include the compressed
Javascript or the uncompressed Javascript:
//= require jquery.raty
//= require jquery.raty.min
At this point, your Rails application has access to jQuery Raty. See the jQuery Raty web site for instructions on how to use the plugin.
- The jQuery Raty images are installed so that their assets paths won't conflict with same-named images in the application or in other gems.
- This blog post, by Stephen Ball, was a huge help in figuring out how to create this gem.
