Acts As Resource: Combining ActiveRecord and ActiveResource

map[bio:Developer, music connisseur and avid tea lover. image:lg.png name:Luca Guidi twitter:jodosha]
#ruby on rails  #rails  #plugins  #activerecord  #activeresource  #acts as resource 

Would you use both ActiveRecord and ActiveResource in one class? Now with Acts As Resource you can!!

Example

class Carrot acts_as_resource self.site = 'http://localhost:3000' 
belongs_to :bunny

validates_presence_of :color
validates_uniqueness_of :color
validates_length_of :color, :within => 2..23,
                    :if => lambda { |c| c.color && !c.color.empty? }
validates_format_of :color,
                    :with => /[\w\s]+$/,
                    :if => lambda { |c| c.color && !c.color.empty? }

before_create :please_call_me_before_create
def self.validate
  logger.debug("VALIDATE #{color}")
end

def please_call_me_before_create
  logger.debug("Ohhh, so you called me..")
end

end

Rails: How To Modify Template Contents Before Rendering

map[bio:Developer, music connisseur and avid tea lover. image:lg.png name:Luca Guidi twitter:jodosha]
#ruby on rails  #rails  #snippets 

Just a quick snippet to modify template contents before ActionView render them via ERB.

ActionView::Base.class_eval do alias_method :action_view_render_template, :render_template def render_template(template_extension, template, file_path = nil, local_assigns = {}) template ||= read_template_file(file_path, template_extension) template = "
#{template}
" # add your contents here. action_view_render_template(template_extension, template, file_path, local_assigns) end end

You can add this code to environment.rb, but is preferible a plugin.
