#super_mapped_attr(attr, map, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Makes the attribute mapped by a SuperMap, eg. class User

super_mapped_attr :kind, SuperMap.new(
  [:member, 1, "Casual member", { :min_age => 18.years, :welcome_string => "Welcome member!" }],
  [:admin, 2, "Administrator", { :min_age => nil, :welcome_string => "Hello admin!" }]
)

end

u = User.new( :kind => 1 )

u.kind_label # “Casual member”

u.kind_key # :member

u.kind_attr( :member, :min_age ) # 18.years

u.kind_key = :admin

u.kind # 2

User.kinds # #SuperMap:0x.…

User.with_kind( :member, :admin ).count.… (scope)
