You have model, you have a field say website that saves url, you want to prepend 'http://' everytime, if the user
has not entered full url, instead he just entered for ex: 'something.com'.
Now, you don't want to push user to enter full url.
In that case this gem can be helpful. It just prepends 'http://' to the url, if the url does not starts with http or https.
class Business < ActiveRecord::Base
format_url_field :website
end
business = Business.new
business.website = 'mybusiness.com'
business.save
puts business.website
# http://mybusiness.comThis gems add a before_save callback, which does the required job.
