Attribute Fakers
===============

The easiest way to store random data in serialized attributes.

Usage
=====

Use the "faker_attributes" class method to specify attributes to be stored in a 
serialized hash column, which is named "metadata" by default. Doing so will create
reader/writer methods for each attribute. These methods retrieve/store data in the 
serialized column.

The serialized column is named :metadata by default, but you can change it using the
serialized_column option.

Example
=======

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  faked_attributes :color, :language, :something, :serialized_column => :tidbits
end
