arel_attribute lets you treat part of a database column or multiple columns as a single attribute. It allows you to use an attribute in an active_record where() clause. It also
allows you to use an attribute as a key in a relation (e.g.: has_many).
It is best when you can cut up your data to be one piece of data per database field. Also best to have the data represented in the database. This gem helps you when you can not make that guarentee.
Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:
$ bundle add arel_attribute
If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:
$ gem install arel_attribute
