Module: EventAttribute

Extended by:: ActiveSupport::Concern

Defined in:: lib/event_attribute.rb,
lib/event_attribute/version.rb

Overview

EventAttribute allows you to turn your date/datetime columns in to boolean attributes. Idea for this was taken from jamis.jamisbuck.org/articles/2005/12/14/two-tips-for-working-with-databases-in-rails

class Referral < ActiveRecord::Base
  event_attribute :applied_at, :attribute => 'pending', :nil_equals => true
  event_attribute :subscribed_on
end

Example:

referral = Referral.create(:applied_at => Time.now, :subscribed_on => nil)
referral.pending?           # => false
referral.subscribed?        # => false

referral.pending = true
referral.applied_at         # => nil
referral.pending?           # => true

referral.subscribed = true
referral.subscribed_at      # => Time.now
referral.subscribed?        # => true
