# This Gem is No Longer Maintained
# ActiveRecordExtended

It still works and may be useful to you for Rails versions < 5, but will not be updated to be compatible with Rails version > 5.
The idea of postgres_ext has been continued and improved upon in the new ActiveRecordExtended gem:

# PostgresExt
https://github.com/GeorgeKaraszi/ActiveRecordExtended

Adds missing native PostgreSQL data types to ActiveRecord and convenient querying extensions for ActiveRecord and Arel for Rails 4.x
# This repository is no longer maintained

## Looking for help? ##

If it is a bug [please open an issue on
Github](https://github.com/dockyard/postgres_ext/issues). If you need help using
the gem please ask the question on
[Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com). Be sure to tag the
question with `DockYard` so we can find it.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'postgres_ext'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install postgres_ext

## Usage

Just `require 'postgres_ext'` and use ActiveRecord as you normally would! postgres\_ext extends
ActiveRecord's data type handling and query methods in both Arel and
ActiveRecord.

* [Querying PostgreSQL datatypes](docs/querying.md)

Where are the datatypes from PostgresExt 1.x? ActiveRecord 4.x includes
all the data types that PostgresExt added to ActiveRecord 3.2.x. We'll
be adding more datatypes as we come across them.

## Developing

To work on postgres\_ext locally, follow these steps:

1. Run `bundle install`, this will install (almost) all the development
dependencies
2. Run `gem install byebug` (not a declared dependency to not break CI)
3. Run `bundle exec rake db:setup`, this will set up the `.env` file necessary to run
the tests and set up the database
4. Run `bundle exec rake db:create`, this will create the test database
5. Run `bundle exec rake db:migrate`, this will set up the database tables required
by the test
6. Run `BUNDLE_GEMFILE='gemfiles/Gemfile.activerecord-4.0.x' bundle install --quiet` to create the Gemfile.lock for 4.0.
7. Run `BUNDLE_GEMFILE='gemfiles/Gemfile.activerecord-4.1.x' bundle install --quiet` to create the Gemfile.lock for 4.1.
8. Run `bundle exec rake test:all` to run tests against all supported versions of Active Record
