Rolex

Redis-backed roles for Rails applications.

To use in a Rails application

Create an initializer:

Rolex.redis = (Redis.current || ENV['REDISTOGO_URL'] || whatever)

Include Rolex into your model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Rolex
end

Then:

> user.add_role :admin
=> true

> user.has_role? :admin
=> true

> user.roles
=> ['roles']

Roles are unique - if in doubt, add it.

A model can have as many roles as you like.

Roles can be anything you like.

Add tests!
Configure Redis properly (currently relies on how I like to define Redis in my Rails apps)
Make framework agnostic

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rolex'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rolex
