module ActiveRecord
# Store gives you a thin wrapper around serialize for the purpose of storing hashes in a single column.
# It's like a simple key/value store backed into your record when you don't care about being able to
# query that store outside the context of a single record.
#
# You can then declare accessors to this store that are then accessible just like any other attribute
# of the model. This is very helpful for easily exposing store keys to a form or elsewhere that's
# already built around just accessing attributes on the model.
#
# Make sure that you declare the database column used for the serialized store as a text, so there's
# plenty of room.
#
# You can set custom coder to encode/decode your serialized attributes to/from different formats.
# JSON, YAML, Marshal are supported out of the box. Generally it can be any wrapper that provides +load+ and +dump+.
#
# String keys should be used for direct access to virtual attributes because of most of the coders do not
# distinguish symbols and strings as keys.
#
# Examples:
#
# class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# store :settings, accessors: [ :color, :homepage ], coder: JSON
# end
#
# u = User.new(color: 'black', homepage: '37signals.com')
# u.color # Accessor stored attribute
# u.settings['country'] = 'Denmark' # Any attribute, even if not specified with an accessor
#
# # Add additional accessors to an existing store through store_accessor
# class SuperUser < User
# store_accessor :settings, :privileges, :servants
# end
