Description

The has_money gem is intended to allow callers to conveniently convert an attribute stored in cents to dollars.

Configuration

1. Add it to your Gemfile
   • gem 'activerecord-has_money'
2. Add it to your model
   • has_money :total_budget
3. Add it to your tests
   • it { should have_money_for(:total_budget) }

Usage

1. The original attribute is left unmolested
2. The virtual attribute total_budget_dollars is a Money object
   • +, -, /, * integers or floats to a Money object will yield a casting error
   • total_budget_dollars.to_f + 100 will work
3. Assuming the above example, you can save models with dollar values
   • Model.new(total_budget_dollars: 100)
   • The resulting attribute will be total_budget 10000
