= simple_presenter

Some description

== Installation

  gem install simple_presenter

== Usage

  class User < ActiveRecord::Base
    # implements the following attributes: name, email, password_hash, password_salt
  end

  class UserPresenter < Presenter
    expose :name, :email
  end

  user = UserPresenter.new(User.first)
  users = UserPresenter.map(User.all)

If you're using Simple Presenter within Rails, presenters also have access to:

* route helpers: just use the <tt>routes</tt> or <tt>r</tt> methods
* view helpers: just use the <tt>helpers</tt> or <tt>h</tt> methods
* I18n methods: just use the <tt>translate</tt>, <tt>t</tt>, <tt>localize</tt> or <tt>l</tt> methods

For additional usage, check the specs.

== TO-DO

* Recognize ActiveRecord objects and automatically expose attributes used by url and form helpers (like <tt>Model.model_name</tt>, <tt>Model#to_key</tt>, and <tt>Model#to_param</tt>).
* Override <tt>respond_to?</tt> to reflect exposed attributes.

== Troubleshooting

If you're having problems because already have a class/module called Presenter that is conflicting with this gem, you can require the namespace and inherit from <tt>SimplePresenter::Base</tt>.

  require "simple_presenter/namespace"

  class UserPresenter < SimplePresenter::Base
  end

If you're using Rails/Bundler or something like that, remember to override the <tt>:require</tt> option.

  # Gemfile
  source :rubygems

  gem "simple_presenter", :require => "simple_presenter/namespace"
