# Sisyphus::Rails
A gem to add gmail like form saving through sisyphus.js
## Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'sisyphus-rails'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install sisyphus-rails
For a basic install include the following in your *app/assets/javascripts/application.js* file
//= require jstorage
//= require sisyphus
## How it Works
Sisyphus uses an aliased form_tag method to automatically put a *<script>...</script>* tag infront of your forms to initialize Sisyphus. It also uses an aliased FormHelper form_for method to read options.
<script>$(document).ready(function() {$('#sampleform').sisyphus();});</script>
<form id="sampleform">
...
</form>
## Usage
Sisyphus automatically works with all your forms, including custom form builders.
### Exclude form
To stop Sisyphus from initializing on a form include the *with_sisyphus* option in your form_for.
<%= form_for User.new, :with_sisyphus=>false do |f| %>
...
<% end %>
## Dependencies
- Rails >= 3.1
- Jquery
## TODO
- Tests
- Move away from form_tag_helper, should be able to do it all from form_helper? Script tag can go at the end anyhow.
- Model/Object based exclusions via config or activerecord extension?
- block based options
<%= form_for User.new do |f| %>
<% :sisyphus => flase %>
...
<% end %>
