Favorites - A Ruby Gem

Speed-dial for your ActiveRecords! Set up shortcuts for commonly-accessed records so you can get them easily.

Tired of typing User.find_by_email("chris@arches.io") to get your user? Now you can get it directly with User.chris

1. Include the library in your ActiveRecord class
2. Set up your favorites with the favorite method.

• First argument is the column to search, your favorite will forward to the klass.find_by_<arg1> method
• Second argument is the shortcut name, and the value to search against

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Favorites

  favorite :email, {
    chris: "chris@arches.io",
    joe: "joe@joe.io"
  }
end

3. That's it! Now you can use your favorite in your code or console.

• In this example, User.chris will translate into User.find_by_email("chris@arches.io")
• In this example, User.joe will translate into User.find_by_email("joe@joe.io")
