== Instructions
Get the power of ActiveRecord models, including validation, without having a table in the database.
class Contact < ActiveRecord::BaseWithoutTable
column :name, :string
column :email_address, :string
column :message, :text
validates_presence_of :name, :email_address, :string
end
This model can be used just like a regular model based on a table, except it will never be saved to the database.
There is a good blog post available on the plugin:
