This gem makes it easy to add simple active record attribute check methods.
You can use the latest IsAlias gem:
gem install is_alias
After you install IsAlias, add it to your Gemfile.
class User < ActiveRecord::Base is_alias :staff => true, :hireable => :profile_hireable end
is_alias takes a hash. The keys are the method names which, would be generated. The values are the active record fields. Use symbols. If the value is true, than the system uses the key as value.
Calling is_alias as shown above creates the following instance methods on Spaceship:
User#is_staff? User#is_hireable?
