A simple work in progress gem for adding status string to activerecord models. Creates scopes and status setting/testing methods.

An easy to use Key/Value store for any Ruby on Rails project. Like Memcache, only persistent. Stores config values & application wide state in the database in order to survive server restarts. Designed to allow you to add persistent value storage to any Rails project in about 5 minutes. Additionally, allows users to set a list of default keys that auto-initializes baseline key/value pairs in the database for easy initialization.

Simple Polymorphic Behavior with Enum Related Object and Delegation.

A more complete description is forthcoming.

Enumerate adds an `enumerate` command to all ActiveRecord models, enabling you to work with string or integer columns as if they were enums. The following features are added to your model: Validation - ensures that the field only receives accepted values Predicate Methods - adds ? and ! functions for each enum value Scopes - you can easily query for values of the enum

Goal of the Enumerated gem is to provide support to use enumerations on selection/drop down lists.

Add groups option for enumerize.
