Hi All, I'm working with an API that returns me a collection of locations as a hash. I could just display things like @places[:feature][:name] etc, but that seems pretty ugly (and brittle) to me.
So I'm tempted to have a non-AR, non-persisted model class called Place. If I was writing this in Groovy I'd probably create a static method on Place - maybe loadPlaces(hash: placeHash) that would return a collection of place objects. What would be the idiomatic Rails/Ruby approach to something like this? Would I just change the capitalization to have a Place.load_places(place_hash) method :) or would there be a more Ruby/Rails way of solving the problem? Any input appreciated!
