User.find(:all, :conditions => { :last_name => "Catlin", :created_on_less_than => Time.now} ) #yoursThough, I added this "shortcut". User.find_with(params[:user])
I don't think its worth adding new syntax to core to go from User.find(:all, :conditions => params[:user]) to User.find_with(params[:user]). The original method allows for a choice between :first and :all as well as all the other options like :limit. The sweetness of syntactic sugar is measured in saving x frequency. I think that neither the saving nor the frequency of the query is enough to warrant a new method. I would look sympathetic to a patch that allowed for hash definitions of :conditions, though. But I don't buy :created_on_less_than or other ways of dealing with something else than equality through naming conventions. If you need that kind of thing, use the strings. -- David Heinemeier Hansson http://www.loudthinking.com -- Broadcasting Brain http://www.basecamphq.com -- Online project management http://www.backpackit.com -- Personal information manager http://www.rubyonrails.com -- Web-application framework _______________________________________________ Rails-core mailing list Rails-core@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-core
