= HasDetails

HasDetails allows you to store a large amount of (optional) attributes for any model's instance in a serialized column. It takes care of adding convenience methods to your model, and verifies that the value being assigned is indeed (one of) the type(s) required for that attribute.

= Example

  class User << ActiveRecord::Base
    has_details :firstname => String,
                :lastname => String,
                :birthday => Date,
                :gender => [:male, :female]
  end
  
  john = User.find(1)
  john.birthday = 5.years.ago
  john.gender
  => :male
