ActiveRecord plugin for Sequel

Provides a set of features that make Sequel more compatible with code that was written for ActiveRecord. Long-term goal is to make a near drop-in replacement to ease the transition for projects that were previously built with ActiveRecord as the default ORM. Individual features may be enabled / disabled when including this plugin.

Please see the examples section and the features table below.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sequel-active_record'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sequel-active_record

Examples

As with any Sequel plugin, this may be invoked on Sequel::Model or any of its subclasses. By default, all features are loaded. This may be changed by specifying an array of specific features during invocation.

# Loads all features for all models
Sequel::Model.plugin :active_record

# Load selected features on a specific model
class Artist < Sequel::Model; end;
Artist.plugin :active_record, features: [:first, :last]

# May be called multiple times to load additional features
Artist.plugin :active_record, features: [:finder_methods]

Features

Feature	Description	ActiveRecord	Sequel
`:first`	Overrides `#first` to implicitly sort by the primary key	`#first`	`#first`
`:finder_methods`	Provides support for `#find_by` and dynamic finders	`#find_by`, dynamic finders	`#[]`
`:last`	Provides `#last!`, but leaves Sequel's `#last` intact given its intuitive sort. Sorts differently than ActiveRecord.	`#last`, `#last!`	`#last`
