Adds support for missing PostgreSQL data types to ActiveRecord
It still works and may be useful to you for Rails versions < 5, but will not be updated to be compatible with Rails version > 5.
Adds missing native PostgreSQL data types to ActiveRecord and convenient querying extensions for ActiveRecord and Arel for Rails 4.x
If it is a bug please open an issue on
Github. If you need help using
the gem please ask the question on
Stack Overflow. Be sure to tag the
question with DockYard so we can find it.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'postgres_ext'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install postgres_ext
Just require 'postgres_ext' and use ActiveRecord as you normally would! postgres_ext extends
ActiveRecord's data type handling and query methods in both Arel and
ActiveRecord.
Where are the datatypes from PostgresExt 1.x? ActiveRecord 4.x includes all the data types that PostgresExt added to ActiveRecord 3.2.x. We'll be adding more datatypes as we come across them.
To work on postgres_ext locally, follow these steps:
