Rails - Nov 2006 - active_record_base_without_table plugin - Easily use models without tables

Hi all,

Here''s another little plugin I wrote to use AR models without tables.
It''s
dead simple, just extend from ActiveRecord::BaseWithoutTable instead of
ActiveRecord::Base:

  class Contact < ActiveRecord::BaseWithoutTable
    column :name, :string
    column :email_address, :string
    column :message, :text

    validates_presence_of :name, :email_address, :message
  end

You can now use this model just like you would use a regular model based on
a table.

Any problems, let me know.

-Jonathan.

Use ActiveRecord::BaseWithoutTable, not just BaseWithoutTable.

A few people are using it, including myself, so it definitely works.
