[DEPRECATED] Use: https://github.com/gzigzigzeo/coerced_accessor instead

Provides virtual attributes to get/set certain model values in/to human readable format.

class Foo
  extend FormatAlias

  attr_accessor :created_at
  date_format_alias :created_at, '%d.%m.%Y'
end

bar = Foo.new
bar.created_at_formatted = '12.01.2001'
bar.created_at # => Sat, 01 Dec 2001

Accepts options:

• :suffix - formatted by default
• :getter_name - name of a getter method
• :setter_name - name of a setter method (without '=')

Useful when you want to set variables from such select:

<select name="imageable">
  <option value="Image:3">Image</option>
  <option value="Banner:1">Banner</option>
  ...
</select>

class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
  extend FormatAlias
  belongs_to :imageable
  polymorphic_alias :imageable
end

bar = Foo.new
bar.imageable_formatted = "Image:3"
bar.imageable_id   # => 3
bar.imageable_type # => "Image"

Accepts same options as #date_format_alias plus:

• :attributes - attribute name list ([:imageable_id, :imageable_type] for the example above)
