EventAttribute
EventAttribute allows you to turn your date/datetime columns in to boolean attributes. Idea for this was taken from http://jamis.jamisbuck.org/articles/2005/12/14/two-tips-for-working-with-databases-in-rails
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'event_attribute'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install event_attribute
Usage
class Referral < ActiveRecord::Base
event_attribute :applied_at, :attribute => 'pending', :nil_equals => true
event_attribute :subscribed_on
end
referral = Referral.create(:applied_at => Time.now)
referral.pending? # => false
referral.subscribed? # => false
referral.pending = true
referral.applied_at # => nil
referral.pending? # => true
referral.subscribed = true
referral.subscribed_on # => Date.today
referral.subscribed? # => trueIn this example, subscribed_on is defined in the schema as being a Date type column, and applied_at is defined in the schema as being a DateTime.
