A simple Ruby library for labeling things. Similar to and inspired by acts_as_taggable_on but more flexible. Labelized allows you to control every aspect of label items, including the label to labeled relation. Labels can be organized into label sets. Labelized takes the approach of mixing in functionality with configuration, so you include just what you need. While labelized depends on ActiveRecord, it doesn’t provide you with any models. You mixin labeleized concerns to your own models and have complete control over everything including the labels and how they get linked to your models.
Passing a term in the singular allows only a single label. Plural terms allow multiple labels. The optional scope allows for multiple instances of the same tag, isolated by the scope; i.e. different capitalizations. Labelized doesn’t assume much about your model space. You mix in the appropriate labelized module and configure a few options.

Fork the project
Start a feature/bugfix branch
Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
