 # EZ
 
-* For educational purposes only.  Makes Rails a bit more beginner-friendly.
-* Depends on Hirb ~> 0.7.1
+For educational purposes only.  Makes Rails a bit more beginner-friendly.
+
+## Usage
+
+```ruby
+gem 'ez', group: 'development'
+```
+
+## Features
+
+### 1. Console Enhancements
+
+* Fixes the "no connection" message in Rails >= 4.0.1 (if you try to inspect a model without making a query first) by establishing an initial connection to the development database.
+* Shows helpful instructions when console starts, including the list of model classes found in the application.
+* Uses Hirb for table-like display. (Depends on Hirb ~> 0.7.1)
+* Patches Hirb to allow nice table output for `ActiveRecord::Relation` lists (i.e. result of `.all`, `.where`) and hash-like output for single ActiveRecord objects, such as the result of `.find_by(:title => 'Apollo 13')`.
+
+### 2. Route Enhancements
+
 * Patches the Rails dispatcher to avoid writing controllers for simple views by adding route support for `get "url" => "folder/file"`
-* Enables instant modeling without migrations via `models.yml` and `rake ez:tables`
-* Quick JSON API calls with `EZ.from_api(url)`, returns parsed Ruby hash (or array, etc.)
-* Built-in `EZ.weather(location)` for classroom demo of API, to get quick hash and avoid JSON explanation.  Relies on http://openweathermap.org
-* Adds controller and view helpers `current_user`, `user_signed_in?`, `sign_in_as`, and `sign_out` to avoid cookies/session hash details
-* Adds ActiveRecord::Base `read` method to provide symmetry with `create`, `update`, and `delete`
-* Adds ActiveRecord::Base `sample` method to choose a random row
-* Patches Hirb to allow table output for `ActiveRecord::Relation` lists (i.e. result of `.all`, `.where` or `.read(:col => value)` but normal output for single ActiveRecord objects, like the result of `.find_by(:id => id)` or `read(id)`
 
+### 3. Model Enhancements
+
+* Enables instant modeling without migrations via `models.yml` and `rake ez:tables`.  If things get messed up, use `rake ez:reset_tables` to drop the entire db first.
+* Adds ActiveRecord::Base `.read` method to provide symmetry with `.create`, `.update`, and `.delete`
+* Adds ActiveRecord::Base `.sample` method to choose a random row
+
+### 4. Controller and View Enhancements
+
+* Easier JSON API calls by calling `EZ.from_api(url)`; returns parsed Ruby hash (or array, etc.)
+* Built-in view helper `<%= weather %>` and `EZ.weather` for classroom demo of a JSON API, to get quick hash and avoid gory details.  (Relies on http://openweathermap.org).  Default location is Evanston.  Can pass location: `<%= weather('San Diego, CA') %>`.  The `<%= weather %>` helper just delegates to `EZ.weather`.
+* Adds controller and view helpers `current_user`, `user_signed_in?`, `sign_in_as`, and `sign_out` to avoid cookies/session hash details
+* Adds view helper `map` to display a quick static map of any address. Example: `<%= map('Millenium Park, Chicago, IL') %>`
