[Patch] Property aliases
Reported by John W Higgins | February 20th, 2008 @ 09:59 PM
The attached patch allows for properties to be aliased in the model. For example if you had a field called "custID" in the database but you wanted to use a more descriptive name such as customer_id - this patch allows you to have a getter and setter using customer_id which works on the custID column.
The property spec file is also patched and included for coverage.

This is already a core DM feature. property :customer_id, Fixnum, :field => 'custID'

I'll make not of this in the docs for Property so that the world may know that such is supported.

Adam, can you update your commit to use an 80-char hard wrap per these guidelines? http://merbivore.com/contribute....

I know this is closed, but I think there is value to allowing proper ruby-style aliasing, and :field does not accomplish this. For example, if you had a database column called "lon", it would be nice to have in your model
property :lon, Float
alias :lng :lon
alias :longitude :lon
