A few weeks ago, I added an interesting feature to Squeel, and never really said much about it other than a single tweet and a brief reference in the README. I’m calling the feature “sifters”, and I wanted to write a little bit about the purpose they serve.

Valium 0.4.0 released, now with 100% more English

The Cure for ActiveRecord Instantiation Anxiety: Valium

No, not the drug — the Ruby gem! Have you ever written code like this?
Model.where(:attribute => 'value').map(&:id).each do |model_id| # ... end

attr_bucket, A Gem for Your Lolrus Model
5 Comments
Good evening, Internet! I hope you had a wonderful and productive workday. Now, with those pleasantries out of the way, I’d like to point you in the direction of a little gem called attr_bucket that I am regretful for having written even as I type this blog post suggesting you go try it.

About
I'm Ernie Miller. But then, you probably knew that by looking at the page title, or the URL. I'm a Ruby programmer in Louisville, Kentucky. This blog used to be called "metautonomo.us", which I thought was kind of clever, but nobody, including me, could type it. Lesson learned.
