module Hoodoo::ActiveRecord::Creator

Support mixin for models subclassed from ActiveRecord::Base providing context-aware model instance creation, allowing service authors to auto-inherit related features from Hoodoo without changing their code.

It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you use the likes of:

Hoodoo::ActiveRecord::Creator::ClassMethods::new_in

…to create model instances and participate “for free” in whatever plug-in ActiveRecord modules are mixed into the model classes, such as Hoodoo::ActiveRecord::Dated and Hoodoo::ActiveRecord::ManuallyDated.
