Reduce your table width and migration overhead by moving non-indexed columns to a separate metadata column.

After reading Practical Object-Oriented Design in Ruby: An Agile Primer by Sandi Metz, I wanted an easy way to put off making decisions about related objects during the early phases of a project. This is what I came up with for that.

Use the Money gem and ActiveRecord's composed_of to store fields wich contains currency data in a safe and clean way.

has_normalized_fields is a Ruby on Rails gem that lets you normalize user data for an improved user experience. It takes the messy user inputed data and normalizes it into a nice clean standard format.

Simple notifications for Ruby on Rails.

Ordering behavior for ActiveRecord models and Mongoid documents.

Has Placeholder Image is a Ruby on Rails gem that allows developers to generate placeholder images for models depending on the title or name attributes of model.

Generate random tokens (or use your own) for any ActiveRecord model. Hashes and salts the token before storage in the database using the same methodology as has_secure_password.

Allows for the easy creation and use of random, unique record identifiers so external entities cannot make inferences about your data based on sequential ID's

Add ability to draft/publish/withdraw/embargo models

Creates random tokens for model attributes in Ruby on Rails

This gem adds ability to construct search objects for indexed models, build search forms and execute searches. It works with sunspot, inherited_resources and simple_form/formtastic

Provides Rails 4 has_secure_password mixin for Rails 2. Requires Rails 2.1 or higher.

Drop-in replacement for has_secure_password that uses argon2

HasSecureUuid provides you an easily way to generate random uuids for any model in ruby on rails. **SecureRandom::uuid** is used to generate a unique uuid, so collisions are highly unlikely.

Add secure encrypted fields to protect sensitive information in database

Adds dynamic attributes through serialize. This way, it's in one table, and it's still trivial to track changes to your records.

parent.children.where.not(id: self.id), extended to n parents

Extends model, controller, helper and routes to handle the toggle of a star to favorite a model.

HasStateMachine uses ruby classes to make creating a finite state machine in your ActiveRecord models a breeze.
