Add ability to ignore certain namespaces

[mak-dunkelziffer]

There are cases, where it would be nice to have a more comfortable method of ignoring multiple models or attributes at once in the config.

I have one case where the namespace DataMigration contains models that are not used in production and are kept for historic reasons. So I currently have 44 lines of the following in my config:

DataMigration::Article
  enabled: false
...
DataMigration::User
  enabled: false

I have another case where errors are "inherited" from another gem and I have 13 lines of the following in my config:

User:
  thredded_private_posts:
    enabled: false
...
  thredded_post_moderated_records:
    enabled: false

Being able to ignore all attributes starting with thredded_ (per model or even globally) would be nice.

Hi @mak-dunkelziffer,

Thank you for suggesting this! We can add support for some patterns there. What syntax do you prefer the most?

For example, DataMigration::%, DataMigration::*, or somehow else.

[mak-dunkelziffer]

If it is possible to pass a Ruby regex in the Yaml file, that would probably be the easiest. Then you wouldn't have to implement any custom pattern parsing yourself.

[djezzzl]

Sounds fair! I will look into that.

By the way, would you like to contribute? I would be happy to help you and release it as soon as possible.

Hi @mak-dunkelziffer,

I'm sorry it took me so long to implement this feature. Nevertheless, it's finally done, and if you're still using the gem, you can clean up your .database_consistency.yml configuration.

#202

Released in 1.7.11.

P.S. Fixed changelog.md with release commit.
