I had a bright idea for an improvement for the app I am currently working on. I have a Rails model that has only 2 rows in the database and the data is never changed, it has quite a lot of relationships and is used quite extensively. My idea was to remove the database out of the equasion and create a Model that would be entirely self dependent. Here I will show you my methods of maddness:
def MyModel
include ActiveModel::Validations
include ActiveModel::Conversion
extend ActiveModel::Naming
def self.attr_accessor(*vars)
@attributes ||= []
@attributes.concat( vars )
super
end
def self.attributes
@attributes
end
def initialize(attributes={})
attributes && attributes.each do |name, value|
send("#{name}=", value) if respond_to? name.to_sym
end
end
def persisted?
false
end
def self.inspect
"#<#{ self.to_s} #{ self.attributes.collect{ |e| ":#{ e }" }.join(', ') }>"
end
end
