Add some magic

[scottjacobsen]

What do you think about adding some magic: - inferring the table name from the scope name. created_between, and updated_between, foo_between would all work given columns named created_at, updated_at, and foo_at?

Good idea. There are 2 ways to do this:

1. method_missing on the class when the method name matches _between & other patterns. I think there be dragons with that approach.

2. Define a class method that takes a column name as an argument & then defines explicit scopes dynamically. Something like:

class Doge
  include Scopy::DateScopes

  date_scopes_for :updated_at

which would generate something like

  scope :updated_since, -> (date) { where(...) }
  scope :updated_before, -> (date) { where(...) }
  scope :updated_between, -> (first, last) { ... }
  # etc

Option 2 is more explicit in the model code and probably easier to write & understand, too.

@teeparham can I take a dig at this with option 2?

@manojmj92 yes!
