 Ruby Extended Attributes | Ruby bindings for Extended Attributes (EA/xattr) |
| QuiXML: fast XML API in C | An XML API for Ruby written in C, using only Ruby native data types internally. Parses/generates XML, automatically pretty printing and en-/de- coding characters. Transmutates XML attributes to/from objects. Find node paths via strings or regex objects. |
| Ruby Attribute(s) | Runtime metadata for ruby code, like .net attributes, but with ruby style and flexibility. |
| ModelSecurity | The ModelSecurity project is a generator that provides user authentication and fine grained access control for attributes of Rails models. |
| PseudoXml | A fast, non-validating, pure-ruby, partial Xml parser. Supports both XmlDocument and Streaming style parsing. No support for Attributes or CDATA. |
| Enforce Column Limits | A simple Rails plugin that provides a convenient way to validate all your model's string attributes against their maximum limits. Just declare: enforce_column_limits |
| ActiveSalesforce | ActiveSalesforce is a Rails connection adapter that provides direct access to Salesforce.com hosted data and metadata via the ActiveRecord model layer. Objects, fields, and relationships are all auto surfaced as active record attributes and rels. |
| acts_as_json | Simple plugin to control the 'to_json' method on ActiveRecord objects.
By default, to_json will serialize all AR attributes into JSON. Acts_as_json allows you to have full control over what is serialized. |
| Searchable for ActiveRecord | Searchable is a module designed for use with ActiveRecord. It includes a DSL to declaratively specify how model attributes should be indexed. There are both Ferret 0.10.x and Solr backends. |
| PDF::Toolkit | A Ruby interface to PDF metadata. Allows manipulation of a document's Author, Title, Keywords, and other attributes from a PDF's Info dictionary. Implemented as a wrapper around pdftk, which is available for several platforms. |
| NamedArguments | Add methods to a class to allow setting attributes using a hash
(Foo.new :bar => 7). Add methods to the class to specify default attribute values and message names that the values must respond to. |
| god | god is a tool that monitors various attributes of running processes and can start/restart/stop them under certain situations. Replaces monit. |
| HpricotScrub | Hpricot Scrub is an extension of Hpricot to allow easy scrubbing of HTML using white/black lists of elememnts and attributes. It's a close cousin to perl's HTML::Scrubber module. |
| ActsAsSecure | Rails plugin to add attributes encryption to Rails models |
| Association Delegation | Rails plugin to delegate attributes of an ActiveRecord to an associated record. Fundamental methods like #errors and #save offer similarly delegated behavior. |
| PassiveRecord | PassiveRecord takes care of object persistence in a way that is mostly transparent to the objects being persisted. Any old ruby class can register itself with the Store and tell the store which attributes to persist and what their types are. |
| Lookup fields plugin | A rails plugin for lookup fields. It uses a generic LookupField and LookupValue models and links these to your model via a normal foreign key.
This fits well with the rails 'update_attributes' style calls. |
| attr_readonly | Small Rails Plugin that stops ActiveRecord from saving particular attributes. It uses the Monkey Patch as mentioned here:
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/6896 |
| ForceCapitalize | A ForceUppercase clone to capitalize string attributes in a model. |
| chattr | Type-checked arrays, attributes, and array attributes - like attr_accessor but with optional class-checking and type-checking. |
| models_from_xsd plugin | The models_from_xsd generator creates stubs for a new model based upon an XSD file. It will automatically add all the appropriate relationships between models as well as create the migrations with the attributes already built. |
| Acts As Protected Content | AAPC is a role based access control (RBAC) plugin for rails, with following attributes: object oriented access, easy customization, and performance. It's flexibility allow you to setup permission for models easily. |
| acts_as_metamodel | Acts as metamodel add dynamic flexibility to a model by enabling virtual attributes extracted from a description in a database table. |
| validates_increase_of | Rails plugin that adds validates_increase_of and ensure_increase_of to your ActiveRecord models for (silent) validation of
numeric attributes that can never decrease. |
| whistler | A filter for XML and HTML that works based on the concept of a White List of allowed tags, attributes and protocols. |
