-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello!
As a noob in rails, i am having a problem on how to find a decent and straightforward notifications system for my application. Being a Api like application (talking with the client is made using JSON / later on XML as well), i have a problem finding a good solution to feed my needs. I have tried to use the rails validators, but then i have realized that is not a good solution, as i need to send normal notifications as well (Ex: "You have successfully bought this item" ). After that ideea failed ... I have tried to implement a "Notification" module inside my user model as, all my notifications are user related. However ... this system has 2 instance variables : @notifications and @api_errors. Now, the problem would be the validation of the user action, and here might be several messages to send: - Stock finished - No money - No access to this feature ... - CC invalid ... etc now ... i can do my checks like if false == money_requirement? self.add_api_error "You do not have enough money" end if false == product.stock_requirement? self.add_api_error .... end But the main problem ... would be now, the method of trigger the action. if self.api_errors.size == 0 # do play with the user account, stocks and other stuff .... end what i am asking you: Is there any way to play with those notifications and errors without passing through the database? They are more like flashes, but the code is inside the model ... so, i don't want to fall into an antipattern having session related info inside my model. Thanks. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPXGznAAoJEAa2YjEk8CRGiZMH+wTPPfDTMTyiqStGSfbueFHe 0gXcF/TGoFTKjpxYsTgZ5Ew5PgBvcZESmN8lcmw6Zt3zMiupIvy+6tFGnWdmJIbr myJW686w/t+U5sm2GVEMUlyos454NUSR2AuMDrfF9zpCDzJ7xMJV9Bof2BZkv2EJ YXmYKCTKsI1FskIGNBbCEg7LurFcbPSm29ixQ2e482oYt3Avbd/olqiiRSgxDEYE qf9ob52L9IoX0tO+lvd+OyZ3/oT2z6Hx4gM1iG8ZoHCNj63FhJ22L86Sg1cKdD3X OlvF+EguwGih5i2JRneCE3PDSP8IVRu1l70YSTkH8YvBobjORGZJ1XFlo5IRr8Y= =z7bt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
