@abit - This gem requires CanCan and checks the :edit permission for the model being edited.

[Adam Stewart]

Is it really necessary to have CanCan as a dependency? Though the helper method is nice, can't it be handled by the user for the authorization or have it in the ReadMe as a suggested helper with CanCan. It just seems to be an unnecessary especially for users using another Authorization gem other than CanCan.

[Jiri Kolarik]

No, it's not. I just removed it, it can be handled in xeditable? helper method
