Minimal implementation of ARel

fake_arel.rb

class ActiveRecord::Base

  class << self
    
    # Model.order("awesomeness DESC")
    def order(options)
      self.scoped(:order => options)
    end
    
    # where(:type => "icecream").where(:flavour => "chocolate")
    def where(options)
      self.scoped(:conditions => options)
    end
    
    # joins(:users)
    def joins(options)
      self.scoped(:joins => options)
    end
    
  end
end
