Wacky

Wacky is an engine for Rails that aims to be the best wiki. The end goal is to have a drop-in wiki for any given Rails app.

Features:

• versioning
• realtime markdown preview
• title extraction
• keyboard shortcuts
  • e to edit the current page
  • v to see the versions
  • ? to see the help
  • ESC to hide the help

Installation

Add wacky to your Gemfile:

gem 'wacky'

Mount wacky on your app:

mount Wacky, at: '/wiki'

Copy the migrations and run them:

rake wacky:install:migrations
rake db:migrate

NOTE: Wacky will set an instance variable, @wacky_title, that has the title of the page you're on. It extracts this by finding the first heading element (h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6) on the page. If you want to include that in your layout title, you're welcome to.

Development

To run the tests:

rake
