Deadbolt

Setup

Require Deadbolt:

gem 'deadbolt', :git => 'git://github.com/ericcf/deadbolt.git'

Copy over and run the migrations within your host app.

Seed Permissions:

rake deadbolt:permissions:seed

Add Permissions for new classes:

rake deadbolt:permissions:create[BlogPost]

Add admin user:

rake deadbolt:users:seed_admin[admin_email]

Configure root route in an initializer (the default is Deadbolt::Home#index):

require 'deadbolt'
Deadbolt.setup do |config|
  config.root_options = { :controller => "Site", :action => "index" }
end

Views

Deadbolt comes with view partials for the UI:

deadbolt/shared_partials/_admin_menu.haml
deadbolt/shared_partials/_personal.haml

Optionally, you can include the Formtastic stylesheets:

stylesheets/formtastic.css
stylesheets/formtastic_changes.css

Testing

Deadbolt supports testing via RSpec. To make testing within the host app easier, add integration helpers and Factory Girl factories by adding the following line to your spec_helper.rb file:

require 'deadbolt_spec_support'

Then, you can use the sign_in_user and sign_out_user methods in your request specs:

include AuthenticationHelpers
sign_in_user
sign_out_user
sign_in_user :admin => true
