Yaripe (Yet Another RESTful in_place_edit)

Yaripe is a Rails plugin for Inplace Edit solution, that uses the RESTful controllers, and JQuery, to make a complete solution of in place edit...

This Plugin is based in REST in Place (http://github.com/janv/rest_in_place) and in better-edit-in-place (http://github.com/nakajima/better-edit-in-place/tree/master) , Thanks for the ideas and for the code, guys!

It uses the HTTP method put, parse the response in JSON format, and make some magic :-)

How to Install

script/plugin install git://github.com/tchandy/yaripe.git

Examples

Your routes.rb:

 map.resources :users

Just make the Update action of your controller respond json:

 format.json { render :json => @user }

Example:

class UsersController < ApplicationController
  def update
    @user = User.find(params[:id])

    respond_to do |format|
      if @user.update_attributes(params[:user])
        flash[:notice] = 'User was successfully updated.'
        format.html { redirect_to(@user) }
        format.json { render :json => @user }
      else
        format.html { render :action => "edit" }
      end
    end
  end
end

Add the Javascript to your views:

 <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults   %>
 <%= javascript_include_tag "jquery.yaripe.js" %>

In your views:

 <%= edit_in_place @user, :first_name %>

For date fields:

 <%= edit_in_place @user, :date_of_birth, {:field_type => "date"} %>
