= rails_look_up_table

This is a simple gem which caters for look up tables in rails, the fact that look up tables don't really hold relationships is the reason this gem exists.

Once the gem is installed all one need to do to use it is call the lookup method in the model which uses the lookup table passing in the the model name that represents the
lookup table eg.

Class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
   lookup :status
end

The following features will be provided:
* Boolean methods on the different lookup fields eg. @person.pending?
* Setter and Getter fields for lookup object eg. @person.status = :pending, @pending or 'pending'
  * Adding new values will generate all methods required for new records
* Also includes dirty fields for newly added fields
* Adds scopes to get the collection records in different lookup values eg. Person.pendings
