[Rails] [VAPOUR] Dr Nic's Magic Models

[Dr Nic]

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! Ladies and Gentlemen, soon you shall be 
thrilled and dazzled by wonders of magical mystery.

Soon, very soon, Dr Nic's Magic Models will be unveiled to all. Children 
will giggle; Rubists will nod acknowledgingly; Railers will applaud 
loudly.

No entry fee. 2 drink minimum.


Watch out for the Invisible Model Classes. Got a legacy database of 50 
tables? You can't be bothered writing model files for each and every 
one? Watch closely as the Invisible Model Classes appear before your 
very eyes just when you want them, for each and every table of your 
database. WOW! Laziness at your fingertips.

More, you ask? More?

How about Astral Associations? Unconfirmed rumours suggest that Dr Nic's 
Magic Models will perform the following stunning trick:

class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :bars
  belongs_to :car
end

can be defined simply as:
class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
end

Tada!!!! That's right. You ask @foo.car and a Car will be waiting for 
you. @foo.bars gives you a list of Bars; and if you're feeling lucky, 
@foo.bar gives you the first Bar.

Finally, I shall merely tantalise you with the mere suggestion of a 
trick called Virtual Validations.
