Squirrel

Natural Looking Queries for Rails

Squirrel is an enhancement for ActiveRecord’s find method that allows programmers to query the database using a more Rubyish syntax.

Download/Installation

You can obtain Squirrel via our SVN repository at https://svn.thoughtbot.com/plugins/squirrel/trunk.

You can install Squirrel into your Ruby on Rails application by running the command:

piston init https://svn.thoughtbot.com/plugins/squirrel/trunk vendor/plugins/squirrel

... assuming, of course, that you have piston installed. Else you can svn export the same URL.
