static_collection

Rubygem for running basic queries against static data.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'static_collection'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install static_collection

To create a StaticCollection model, inherit from StaticCollection::Base

class AccountType < StaticCollection::Base
end

Then set the source for the static collection data. To read from YAML,

class AccountType < StaticCollection::Base
  set_source YAML.load_file('./data/account_types_test.yml')
end

To set a default value for an attribute, pass a defaults hash into set_source

class AccountType < StaticCollection::Base
  set_source YAML.load_file('./data/account_types_test.yml'), defaults: { recommended_by_default: false }
end

StaticCollection supports the following query methods: :count, :all, :find_by, and :where.

> AccountType.find_by(type: 'joint').ownership_type
=> "multi-owner"

To see the full AccountType example, take a look at our blog post.
