SimpleMongoidSlugs

When you create application using Rails and Mongoid you should probably notice those not so pretty URLs e.g.: http://localhost/tasks/500be69b7f8ee3dc0d000002/edit. SimpleMongoidSlugs gem can simply turn them to something like: http://localhost/tasks/buy-some-milk/edit. Gem provides you simple methods to add slug field for your model, populate it and use it.

How-to

# Add to Gemfile and run bundle:
gem 'simple_mongoid_slugs', :git => 'git@github.com:anatoliku/simple_mongoid_slugs.git'

# If your model contains name attribute, just add ```include SimpleMongoidSlugs```
class Task
  include Mongoid::Document
  include SimpleMongoidSlugs

  field :name, type: String
end

# Then in controller change  
Task.find(params[:id])
# to  
Task.find_by_slug(params[:id])
