Question

Does anyone know of a “suggested username” plugin for Rails? I want something that will check if a username is available as a user types and display suggested usernames if unavailable. I know this would be easy to implement, just wondering if anyone has seen something out of the box.

Thanks!

I’m sorry to say that, after much research, I haven’t found anything. No snippets. No gems. Nothing.

Looks like you’ll have to roll your own. Be a pioneer and post your snippet somewhere. I doubt something like user name suggestions would warrant being packaged as a plugin, so post a snippet if you feel like contributing and rolling your own solution.
