I like this, and i believe most people would. I can't say for the core team, but i think you sould create a patch and post it on trac. The automatically validation can be improved to more than just validates_presence_of as well, others people might help with that and then it would be easier to apply the patch on the trunk ;)
Nice job, Nic. Cheers! Rodrigo Kochenburger On 8/14/06, Dr. Ernie Prabhakar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Nic, I for one think this is incredibly cool, and would love to see it in Rails 1.2 (as part of core)... Thanks! -- Ernie P.

The use of has_many vs has_one is determined by the pluralisation of the method call. Additionally, it uses the :null => false attribute of columns to provide validates_presence_of automatically to models too. If any of this code is relevant for Core Rails, let me know and I'll extract it from the gem and create a patch for core. The gem has received a good reception on the Ruby + RoR forums. http://drnicwilliams.com/2006/08/07/ann-dr-nics-magic-models/ Cheers Nic -- Dr Nic Williams http://www.drnicwilliams.com - Ruby/Rails blog skype: nicwilliams (m) +31 62 494 8552 (p) +61 7 3305 7522 (finds me anywhere in the world) (f) +61 7 3305 7572 (sends fax to my email) _______________________________________________ Rails-core mailing list Rails-core@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-core _______________________________________________ Rails-core mailing list Rails-core@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-core
