deep_cloneable
A Ruby gem that adds deep cloning capabilities to ActiveRecord models, including user-specified associations.
What is deep_cloneable?
Deep Cloneable is a Ruby gem that adds a `deep_clone` method to ActiveRecord models, allowing developers to create deep copies of database records along with their associated records. It solves the problem of duplicating complex object graphs in Rails applications, where simple duplication methods only copy the base model without its relationships.
Ruby on Rails developers who need to clone ActiveRecord models with their associations, such as when implementing copy functionality for nested resources or duplicating complex data structures.
Developers choose Deep Cloneable because it provides a comprehensive and flexible solution for deep cloning ActiveRecord objects, with support for nested associations, attribute control, and handling of file attachments, all while maintaining performance with features like validation skipping and dictionary-based object reuse.
