fiding attributes - method_missing

[rafaellima]

Hi There,

I've just started using Couchdb on my Rails projects (with couchrest_model gem) and I'm missing something like Model.find_by_* methods?

In case it doesn't exist, would it be a good idea to improve this gem to do so?

Cheers,

Hi. It is possible to do what you suggest, I use it quite a lot in fact. Take the following model and example:

class User < CouchRest::Model::Base
  property :email
  design do
    view :by_email
  end
end

user = User.by_email.key('[email protected]').first
# is the same as:
user = User.find_by_email '[email protected]'

I'd also recommend using the github repo in your project. Its been a while since we released a gem, and the master branch has a lot of useful stuff.

Cheers, sam

Ohhh it was there all the time and I've missed.

Thanks sam!
