INSTALLATION

rails plugin install git@github.com:jeroeningen/acts_as_price.git

USAGE

Create a column in the table of your database which you want to acts as a price.

NOTE THAT THE COLUMN MUST BE OF THE TYPE INTEGER.

In your model add the following:

• acts_as_price <column_name>, :validates = true

<column_name> is the name of your database column e.g. price or price_per_liter.

This plugin creates the following getters and setters:

• ‘price_in_cents’ and ’<column_name>_in_cents’ sets and returns the price in cents
• ‘price’ and ’<column_name>’ sets and returns the price

EXAMPLES

car = Car.new :price => 12999

car.price 12999.00

car.price_in_cents 1299900

fuel = Fueltype.new :price_per_liter => 1.12

fuel.price 1.12

fuel.price_in_cents 112

fuel.price_per_liter 1.12

fuel.price_per_liter_in_cents 1.12

RSPEC INTERGRATION

Acts As Price comes with a helper method to automatically test the plugin using Rspec.

To use this method please add the following to your spec_helper.rb file:

• config.include(ActsAsPriceHelper)

Now you may add the following code to your spec-files for your models:

  context "given an valid model" do
    it "should acts as price" do
      test_acts_as_price_methods <column_name>, <fixture or stub>
    end
  end

TESTING

To test the plugin use the command ‘rake test’ or ‘rspec spec/*_spec.rb’ inside the dir ’~/vendor/plugins/acts_as_price‘

NOTES

This plugin comes with Rspec tests. However this plugin assumes that you have a database configuration, it actually don‘t use the database for the Rspec tests.
