## Collectable ##
So, I serialize stuff into arrays in my AR objects where it doesn't make
sense to go through the rigamaroe of actually making an empty AR model
to use for the association. This is just a bit of glue to make using
that pattern a bit easier with
There's not much to this thing, and what's there exists only to serve the
needs that I've had for this sort of thing.
That said, pull requests are totally welcome :)
## Gem Setup ##
```ruby
gem install collectable
# Gemfile
gem 'collectable'
```
## Basic usage ##
The short version is "include the module and define some characteristics."
That's also the long version, as it were.
```ruby
class HairColor
include Collectable
characteristic :blonde
characteristic :brown
characteristic :red
characteristic :black
characteristic :purple
characteristic :tie_dye
end
```
Then, to actually use the thing, do something like this in your view:
```erb
<%= form_for @person do |f| %>
<%= f.collection_check_boxes(:hair_color, HairColor.collected, HairColor.value, HairColor.name) %>
<% end %>
```
