Plans, Features and A Simplified Approach in Ruby on Rails at sablog.com

Written by Shanti A. Braford September 19th, 2006in Ruby, Ruby on Rails.

Carlos Gabaldon has a slick way of handling plan/feature matrices in this article on Plans, Features and Ruby DSL.

The approach is to encapsulate various features like “can have 15 open projects”, etc. into a ‘features’ table which can house the feature name, etc.

This allows you to do things like:

if some_model.has_feature?(:can_send_foo)
  # send the foo
end

Nice!
