Model settings in 2.x

[mbajur]

Hey!

I recently updated from 0.x to 2.x and noticed there is no way to have a settings per model (eg. i had a User model with include RailsSettings::Extend so i could use User.last.settings.foo = :bar.

Is that feature deprecated in 2.x ? Are you planning to support that scenario?

No more that supports in 2.x.

If your project has used RailsSettings::Extend, you can continue use rails-setting-cached 0.x.

When you have a new project, you can try 2.x, and use ActiveRecord serialize instead of the RailsSettings::Extend feature.

@huacnlee Is there an example of how one would replace with RailsSettings::Extend with ActiveRecord serialize? I'd love to use version 2.x but it's unclear how to use this gem in the context of model specific settings. I'd argue that most applications have the requirements for both, global settings and model specific settings. Any help / documentation much appreciated.

There will be no longer have that feature in 2.x.

If you wants upgrade to 2.x, I recommend you to write a migrations to transfer the old model special setting values into Rails serialize field.

To do this it’s not complex, if your application not have too much records. So, you can easy to do that.
