Hi there, I have this model called InventoryItem. Every time an InventoryItem is created (through the CharactersController and the create_item action) I need to update others tables and make lookups in other tables, to check if the Character has the prerequisites to actually create the InventoryItem.
My problem is that I cannot seem to find a good place to put this logic. I've tried to put it in a InventoryItem#validate_on_create. This is a hassle, because the InventoryItem has no direct association to all the things it need to check/update. Also, isn't it against the guide lines that validations actually updates/changes stuff as it is required here? I've also tried placing most of the logic in the create_item action itself, however this also results in rather ugly code I think (see attached). This also has the drawback that InventoryItem validation errors and "prerequisite errors" are shown in different ways in the views, because they are stored in @inventory_item.errors and flash[:error] respectively. There must be a better way? Where do you guys put logic like this? Any ideas/suggestions are very welcome. Thanks in advance. - Rasmus Attachments: http://www.ruby-forum.com/attachment/2949/test.txt -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
