= Rails Money
Note! This is NOT compatible with the 'money' gem!
A handler for storing money in ActiveRecord objects as integers (as cents), but dealing
with them as Money Objects.
Note: Dividing a money object will return an array of Money objects. This ensures cents
do not go missing.
For example:
>> money = Money.new(10.00)
=> #<Money:0xb76b3e14 @cents=1000>
>> money / 3
=> [#<Money:0xb76b3e14 @cents=433>, #<Money:0xb76b3f2c @cents=333>, #<Money:0xb76b3f04 @cents=333>]
All other operations (+, -, *, and Comparable stuff) will work without any surprises or magic.
== Usage
Create your tables with fields named FIELDNAME_in_cents and you will be able to access them as
FIELDNAME. ActiveRecord will return Money objects instead of Fixnums.
add_column :products, :price_in_cents, :integer
product = Product.find_first
product.price = 100.00
product.price >> #<Money @cents=10000>
Creating a Money can be done from a Fixnum (dollars) or a Float (dollars.cents). To create a money
object from just cents, do Money.create_from_cents(100)
