Rails Plugin that enables RESTful Resources to be routed by cryptic ids

Cryptid

The cryptid plugin allows you to use crypted id to identify object identities in your routes.

Installation

To install, simply run the following command from your project.

script/plugin install git://github.com/Frodotus/cryptid.git

Then in your ActiveRecord model classes simply add the include statement.

Usage

class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base

      encrypt_id

end

As a result of this statement, assuming your Foo object has an id of 144, your resourceful routes change from this:

http://server.com/foos/114

to:

http://server.com/foos/9873498273400000144

By using ids with checksum web user can not view other resources by just adding ids.
