Tony, Would it be an option to "just" spend some time on making the problematic plugins work with DataMapper? I'd be interested in helping out with that if the company you work for would be up for it. Sounds like a possible win/win for everyone to me; you could be using popular feature rich rails plugins, DM will be more compatible with the rails ecosystem so more people can use it, and I would have paid work for some time ;)
I have to admit that I haven't yet looked at inherited_resources and formtastic, but I think that if they can work with AR, they can also work with DM. Some background on me: * I'm a DataMapper core team member: * I was a Merb contributor * I patched rails' active_model to support DM's usecases * I share my code at http://github.com/snusnu cheers Martin On Sat, May 7, 2011 at 20:06, Tony Mann <[email protected]> wrote: > I would be happy to share the details. > > So far, the biggest struggle has been that some of the cooler Rails > plugins, like inherited_resources and Formtastic, don't work with > DataMapper.
