What is ActiveRecord::Extensions? -------------------------------------------------- ActiveRecord::Extension (aka ar-extensions) is a plugin to extend and enhance the functionality of ActiveRecord. It starts by adding better find support for ActiveRecord. It then adds mass data import capabilities which are highly efficient and lastly it supports to_csv functionality. It also introduces a cool concept of creating easily extendable pieces of ActiveRecord functionality, so developers don't have to understand ActiveRecord internals or have the fear of breaking ActiveRecord itself. Is it useful? --------------------------- I think so and so did these people: * http://www.igvita.com/blog/ * http://darwinweb.net/article/Implementing_Advanced_Search_In_Rails_Using_Search_Models Enjoy!
