Popular is a friendship gem designed for Rails/ActiveRecord models.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

    gem 'popular'

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install popular

### Database Migration

Popular uses a friendships table to store friendship relationships.
To get up and running, use the following command:

    rails g popular:migration
    rake db:migrate

## Usage

### Model

To get started using Popular, simply add `popular` to your model, (ie: `app/models/user.rb`)

```ruby
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  popular
end

@sam = User.create name: "Samuel"
@jackson = User.create name: "Jackson"

# Adding and removing friends
@sam.friends_with? @jackson   #=> false
@sam.friends.length           #=> 0
@sam.befriend @jackson
@sam.friends_with? @jackson   #=> true
@sam.friends.length           #=> 1
@sam.unfriend @jackson
@sam.friends_with? @jackson   #=> false
```

### Callbacks

Popular provides callbacks that are fired around friendship creation. Available callbacks are:
  - after_befriend
  - before_befriend


```ruby
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  popular
  after_befriend :notify

  def notify
    puts "Friendship created successfully"
  end
end

@justin = User.create name: "Justin"
@jenny = User.create name: "Jenny"

@justin.befriend @jenny #=> "Friendship created successfully"
```
