acts_as_account

Theory

ActsAsAccount implements a “Double Entry Accounting” system for your Rails-models.

It hooks into ActiveRecord and allows to add accounts to any model by simply means of adding has_account to your model. Because the accounts are connected via a has_many relation no migration to the account-holder tables is needed.

We also hook into the ActionController request cycle to warn the developer if a request has left uncommitted changes in the system.

How to test

Run the cucumber features from the acs_as_account gem, just execute * rake features:create_database * cucumber

How to release

You need to update the data in VERSION and Rakefile and run rake (because it uses Gemhadar). rake gem:push will push the version to rubygems.

Compatibility

Rails 4 is supported since version 3.1.0, Rails 7 since 3.2.2 .
