## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'light-decorator', '~> 0.5.2'
```

## Usage

Create the `ApplicationDecorator`

```ruby
# app/decorators/application_decorator.rb
class ApplicationDecorator < Light::Decorator::Decorate
end
```

Create decorator for your model. For example we will use the `User` model.

```ruby
# app/decorators/user_decorator.rb
class UserDecorator < Application
  def full_name
    "#{object.first_name} #{object.last_name}"
  end
end
```

Decorate your model in controller or anywhere.

```ruby
# Single record
User.find(params[:id]).decorate
User.find_and_decorate(params[:id])
User.decorate.find(params[:id])

# Collection
User.all.decorate
User.decorate
User.limit(10).decorate
User.decorate.limit(10)

# Options
User.find_and_decorate(params[:id], with: AnotherUserDecorator)

# Associations will be decorated automatically
user = User.find_and_decorate(params[:id])
user.decorated? # true
user.comments.decorated? # true
user.comments.first.decorated? # true
```

Example of Decorator
```ruby
class UserDecorator < ApplicationDecorator
  def full_name
    "#{object.first_name} #{object.last_name}"
    # or
    "#{o.first_name} #{o.last_name}"
  end
  
  def full_name_link
    helpers.link_to full_name, user_path(object)
    # or
    h.link_to full_name, user_path(object)
  end
end
```
