Documentation

Install the plugin: 
ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/popdog/slice_and_dice/tags/REL-0.1

Alters ActiveRecord's condition handling to allow conditions specified as a hash of predicates, e.g: 

  User.find :first, :conditions => {:name => 'Tom'}
  Task.find :all, :conditions => {:owner_id => 12}


In addition to these simple equality conditions, other more complex conditions can be specified without recourse to SQL: 

  User.find :first, :conditions => {:post_count_more_than => 20}
  Task.find :all, :conditions => {:description_contains => 'london'}


As well as finder methods, this condition syntax also works with scoping, calculations and other areas where normal active record conditions can be used
