MarkupModel

Loads ActiveModel records from Markdown files (with YAML headers). This allows you to keep records in your git repository then load them into your DB for querying as a deploy task.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile and run bundle install:

gem 'markup_model'

Usage

Create a model like this:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  include MarkupModel

  validates :content, :published_at, :title, presence: true

  def self.default_yaml_header
    {
      published_at: Time.zone.now,
      title: "New Post",
    }
  end
end

Then generate a Markdown file for the model by running:

rails g markup_model:model Post

After you finish editing the file, update the records in your DB:

rake markup_model:reload CLASS=Post
