Ideas

Ideas to improve the plugin

• Document the installation in the README
• Generate named scopes for flags
• Check has_flags values for being symbols
• Configurable flags column per has_flags call
• Test with PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite3
• Document how the bit saving works
• Explain what a Shih Tzu is ;)
• Allow multiple has_flags calls per model using different columns (contributed by Ladislav Martincik)
• Optimize generated sql to allow index to be used by replacing bit operators with IN() conditions (contributed by Joost Baaij)
• Separate code to not add so many methods to AR
  • Check method visibility
  • Nodoc non-published methods
• Add rdoc comments in the source
• Convert plugin to a gem to take advantage of versioning, simple installation and easier use outside rails
• Provide query optimizing named scope for multiple flags
• Default values for flag (i.e. add possibility for default true)
• Provide support for old flags
• Add an example for a suitable index migration
