Usage

Provide a simple way of cloning ActiveRecord Records

It will return an in memory object, you will need to save the record yourself.

You supply two things to clone_from method

Clonable.clone_from(original_object, filter)

The above is a convenience method for:

Clonable.new(original_object, filter).clone

  • Original object is just the object where you will copy properties from

  • Filter is an array of properties you want to copy from the original_object you can list the properties as symbols or strings.

If one of the items on that list is a hash, the key has to be the name of the association, the value has to be a list of values that will be copied from all the items of the association.

It handles different association types, belongs_to, has_many, and has_one

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
