Define Rails Model Persistent Attributes in Model File
- by Kevin Sylvestre
I recently played with MongoDB in Rails using Mongoid. I like the ability to define attributes for models within the model file (as opposed to in migrations):
class Person
include Mongoid::Document
field :name, :type => String
field :birthday, :type => Date
end
For projects that cannot use a schema-less database, does a similar feature exist? Any gems or plugins that generate schemas from a similar syntax would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
