virtus

I’m happy to announce that after 1486 commits Virtus 1.0.0 has been released. It comes with a lot of neat changes, improvements and new features. Here’s a quick summary of my favorite additions and changes. No more “include Virtus” That’s right. With 1.0.0 including Virtus module is deprecated. Instead you should use something called “custom extension builder”. It’s really cool, check this out: # for classes class User include Virtus.model # attributes go here end # for modules module CommonAttributes include Virtus....

I’m happy to announce the first release of Virtus gem. It is an extraction of DataMapper Property API with various tweaks and improvements. If you like how properties work in DataMapper and would like to use such functionality in your plain ruby objects then you should give Virtus a try. It is an early release but I would not expect many API changes before 1.0.0 since the code is based on the stable DataMapper API and I’m quite happy with it....
