Using DataFabric to replace Masochism
November 25th, 2009When we upgraded from Rails 1.x to 2.x, we also had to migrate from Masochism to DataFabric. Unfortunately, the DataFabric way of doing things requires adding a declaration to each of the model classes. For a site like TouchLocal, where there are literally hundreds of model classes, this was a daunting task.
I’ve just gone through extracting the magic that makes it possible to do this programatically, released as DataFabric::Initializer. I hope it helps someone other than me!
