= AASMControls => Simple aasm plugin extension for handling aasm states via jquery

Helps with using AASM when you need to use it with a contoller. I really like AASM but hate writing controller code and jquery to assist in using it in views. For now, this seems to help. This is very beta and it is meant to be used with InheritedResources.

This plugin assumes you are using AASM (obviously) and a controller that is the plural name of the model name...

So if I had a model named Friendship the controller should be named FriendshipsController

== Get it and Get going...

Install the plugin:

$ script/plugin install git://github.com/markmcdonald51/aasm_controls

also install dom_id:

$ script/plugin install git://github.com/nazgum/dom_id.git

Add the member function to the routes.rb

map.resources :issues, :member => {:update_state => :get} do |issue| issue.resources :interviews, :member => {:update_state => :get}

Add this to you application.js file

$(document).ready(function() { $(".state_change_link").live('click', function(event){ $.get($(this).attr('href'), $(this).serialize(), null, "script"); return false; }); });

== Example

class Friendship < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user belongs_to :friend, :class_name => 'User' acts_as_aasm_controls # this does everything. end

In your views use the helper to add in the jquery links to change state_change_link

<%= aasm_state_links(resource) %>
