json_config_attributes

Simple ActiveSupport::Concern for converting a JSON config string into methods available for read.

Install

gem 'json_config_attributes' bundle

Usage

class Activity < ActiveRecord::Base
  include JsonConfigAttributes
  json_config_attributes :config_json,
    :name
end

# name is now available as an accessor
a = Activity.new(:config_json => '{ "name" : "activity name" }')
a.name
=> "activity name"

TODO

Add write support to update config json by modifying attributes directly.

Possibly memoize parsed JSON.

• Fork the project
• Start a feature/bugfix branch
• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
