Freeskimer

Saves and retrieves model attributes to your database with no schema. It simply serializes the object to JSON at save time and desirializes it upon retrieval.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

  gem 'freeskimer'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usage

Call freeskim in an ActiveRecord class and pass the name of the attribute you wish to save and the name of the column where it should be saved (has to be a string type).

class Key < ActiveRecord::Base
  freeskim :name ,    to: :user_attributes
  freeskim :email,    to: :user_attributes
  freeskim :address,  to: :user_attributes
end

This will automatically save the attributes 'name' and 'email' and 'address' in json format in the 'user_attributes' column.
