This gem was developed for use in a number of Rails projects. I tend to use addresses all over the place, so this gem handles all the nitpicky class level details for an address object.

Be sure to check out nybblr.com for other Rails goodies, and if you're looking for more of my gems (when I get around to it!) surf around my GitHub repos.

If you're not somewhere, you're nowhere. That's a different gem.

From your ActiveRecord model, simply call the address method:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
	# Example usages
	address

	address :billing

	address :billing, :postal_code => :zip, :include_prefix => false

end

Once you instantiate an Address object, you can convert to a hash:

address.to_hash
address.to_hash :exclude => [:country]

Or you can convert to a string:

address.to_s
address.to_s :country => false
address.to_s :delimiter => "\n"
address.to_s :multiline
