I am currently using STI to manage three different types of Users on a site. I find this to be a great solution when it comes to DRYing authentication and basic fields for each type of user. My only caveat with this method is adding type specific fields to the three classes of users. Currently each type has it's own ____Profile model (AdminProfile, CatProfile, DogProfile, etc.). To avoid always having to do things like cat.cat_profile.fur_color, I've been manually mapping attributes of the ____Profile classes to their respective user class so I can just do cat.fur_color. This makes my code a lot cleaner on the controller and view side, but is huge mess on the model side. I am wondering if there is a plugin/gem to do these kinds of mappings automatically.
