Task Lists

This package provides various components necessary for integrating Task Lists into your GitHub-flavored-Markdown user content.

Components

The Task List feature is actually made of several different components:

• GitHub-flavored-Markdown Filter
• Model: summarizes task list items
• JavaScript: task list update behavior
• CSS: styles Markdown task list items

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'task_list'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Rails 3+: Railtie method

# config/application.rb
require 'task_list/railtie'

Rails 2.3: Manual method

Wherever you have your Sprockets setup:

Sprockets::Environment.new(Rails.root) do |env|
  # Load TaskList assets
  require 'task_list/railtie'
  TaskList.asset_paths.each do |path|
    env.append_path path
  end
end

If you're not using Sprockets, you're on your own but it's pretty straight forward. task_list/railtie defines TaskList.asset_paths which you can use to manage building your asset bundles.

CoffeeScript Requirements

Aside from requiring CoffeeScript, jQuery is the only other requirement.

Testing and Development

JavaScript unit tests can be run with script/testsuite.

Ruby unit tests can be run with rake test.

Functional tests are more for manual testing in the browser. To run, install the necessary components with script/bootstrap then run the server:

rackup -p 4011

Navigate to http://localhost:4011/test/functional/test_task_lists_behavior.html
