I would use the gender attribute instead of creating a new entity in my model... But it depends on your model design
-original message- Subject: [Rails] how to deal with gender From: bingo bob <[email protected]> Date: 07/29/2010 10:25 Appreciate this is a path well travelled probably. What's the best way of to deal with gender. i.e. a Person is either Male or Female (generally and fot my purposes I'll stick with that rule). So is it best to go Person with an attribute gender, or, I guess it's best to do something like this - the rails way? Person belongs_to: gender Gender has_many: people Sorry if this is such an obvious question just want to do it right. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
