Hi I am creating a small Sinatra app and trying to create a voting system in it.
I tried using acts_as_votable gem but it is giving me some error.
rake db:migrate
rake aborted!
TypeError: ActsAsVotable is not a class
Here is my migration file which I tried to make from source code of gem. class ActsAsVotable < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.1] def self.up create_table :votes do |t|
t.references :votable, :polymorphic => true
t.references :voter, :polymorphic => true
t.boolean :vote_flag
t.string :vote_scope
t.integer :vote_weight
t.timestamps
end
if ActiveRecord::VERSION::MAJOR < 4
add_index :votes, [:votable_id, :votable_type]
add_index :votes, [:voter_id, :voter_type]
end
add_index :votes, [:voter_id, :voter_type, :vote_scope]
add_index :votes, [:votable_id, :votable_type, :vote_scope]
end
def self.down
drop_table :votes
end
end
I also created Acts_as_votable module from the gem source code. Please see below code
require 'active_record'
require 'active_support/inflector'
$LOAD_PATH.unshift(File.dirname(__FILE__))
module ActsAsVotable
if defined?(ActiveRecord::Base)
require 'acts_as_votable/extenders/votable'
require 'acts_as_votable/extenders/voter'
require 'acts_as_votable/vote'
ActiveRecord::Base.extend ActsAsVotable::Extenders::Votable
ActiveRecord::Base.extend ActsAsVotable::Extenders::Voter
end
end
require 'acts_as_votable/extenders/controller'
ActiveSupport.on_load(:action_controller) do
include ActsAsVotable::Extenders::Controller
end
Any suggestion to make this work or any other alternet solution for Sinatra?
As you can see in the "Acts As Votable" documentation, it's a gem integrated with the Rails framework, so I would not bet on it working correctly with Sinatra (even though you use ActiveRecord Migrations).
In the end you can either switch to Rails or write the voting code yourself; you can see an example posted by Gerry or try "Create your first voting app with Sinatra".
