Models Associations Validations Callbacks QueryingSaturday, April 2, 2011

Models ActiveRecord::Base class Product < ActiveRecord::Base ... products end name string sku string price decimalSaturday, April 2, 2011

Models ➤ Associations # manufacturer ingredients has_many :products # product has_one :upc belongs_to :manufacturer has_many :batches batches has_many :ingredients, :through => :batches # batch belongs_to :product products belongs_to :ingredient # ingredient has_many :batches has_many :products, :through => :batches upcs manufacturersSaturday, April 2, 2011

Models ➤ Associations # create a product and find its manufacturer product = manufacturer.products.create({:name => "Kitlifter"}) product.manufacturer # create a upc and find its products manufacturer upc = product.create_upc({:code => "001122"}) upc.product.manufacturer # create a batch (linking a product and ingredient) wheat = Ingredient.create({:name => "Wheat"}) bread = Product.create({:name => "Bread"}) batch.create({:product => bread, :ingredient => wheat})Saturday, April 2, 2011

Models ➤ Associations When should I use has_one and belongs_to? “Using has_many or belongs_to is more than just on which table the foreign key is placed, itʼs a matter of who can be thought of as ʻowningʼ the other. A product ʻownsʼ a UPC.”Saturday, April 2, 2011

Models ➤ Validations class Product < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :name validates_uniqueness_of :name validates_format_of :sku, :with => /^SKUd{8}$/ validates_inclusion_of :usda_rating, :in => %w( prime choice ) validate :cannot_be_active_if_recalled def cannot_be_active_if_recalled if recalled? && recalled_on < Date.today errors.add(:active, "Cant be active if its been recalled") end endSaturday, April 2, 2011

Models ➤ Validations I know my record is technically invalid, but I want to save it anyhow. “It is possible to save a record, without validating, by using save(:validate => false)”Saturday, April 2, 2011

Models ➤ Callbacks class Ingredient Callback before_destroy :determine_destroyability Chain before_create :format_legacy_name after_update :log_changes after_create :import_harvest_data determine_destroyability # validation # create # save # update # destroy end STOP!!Saturday, April 2, 2011

Models ➤ Querying Product.find(98) Product.find_by_name("Diet Coke") Product.find_by_name_and_sku("Diet Coke", "SKU44387") Product.find([98,11,39]) Product.first Product.last Product.all Product.count # old and busted Product.find(:all, :conditions => {:name => "Cheese-it!"}) # new hotness Product.where(:name => "Cheese-it!").allSaturday, April 2, 2011

Models ➤ Querying Product.where("name = ?", Skittles) Product.where(:created_at => Date.yesterday..Date.today) Product.where(:sku => ["SKU912", "SKU187", "SKU577"]) Product.order(name DESC) Product.select(id, name) Product.limit(5) # chainable Product.where(:created_at => Date.yesterday..Date.today) .limit(10) Product.order(created_at ASC).limit(20).offset(40) Product.select(created_at).where(:name => Twix)Saturday, April 2, 2011

Models ➤ Querying manufacturer.includes(:products) .where(products.usda_rating = ?, prime) manufacturer.includes(:products) .where(:state => AZ) .order(created_at) manufacturer.includes(:products => :ingredients) .where(ingredients.name = ?, glucose) .order(updated_at) manufacturer.joins(:products) .where(products.sku = ?, SKU456) ingredient.includes(:products => {:manufacturer => :conglomerate}) .where(conglomerates.name = ?, nestle) animalia.includes(:phylum => {:class => {:order => {:family => :genus}}}) child.includes(:parent => [:brother, {:sister => :children}])Saturday, April 2, 2011

Models ➤ Validations Why would I use joins instead of includes? “Using includes will load the records into memory when the query is executing, joins will not.”Saturday, April 2, 2011
