I’m interested in adding comment threading to my app. It seems like a nested set gem is the way to go. What I can’t tell is which gem is the way to go, most popular, etc… Most of the nested_set, awesome_nested_set, appear to not have been updated in some time.
Given that I want comment threading. Any suggestions?
Check out Railscasts 196 and 197. IMO, the reason the gems tend to go unmaintained is because it’s ridiculously easy to do with two helpers and two javascript methods. I don’t want to encourage your to build the wheel yourself, but keep in mind that it isn’t a very difficult wheel.
Don’t like idea? Fork the repo and use your own. You shouldn’t blindly be using open source without a little bit of exploration of how it works anyway.
