jakewendt/acts_as_describable

Creates a polymorphic description table easily attachable to any other model.

ActsAsDescribable
=================

ActsAsDescribable creates a PolymorphicDescription model which can point to any other model, hence the 'Polymorphic' prefix, and the virtual attribute 'description' to access it and its 'body'.  Using this, you can keep a large body of text separate from other data and tables possibly speeding up your queries.

No installation script yet so will need to run ...

> rake acts_as_describable:import:migrations
> rake db:migrate

... to add the descriptions table to your database.

Yeah, I know.  Big whoop.  A new table with 1 field.  Oooooh.  This was really just an exercise in plugin creation, testing and github posting.

Example
=======

class Listing < ActiveRecord::Base
	acts_as_describable :required => true

end
