Custom accessor for array element
- by memph1s
I'm trying to create an accessor for one element from array with specific flag set to true:
class EntranceObject < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :subscribers
def customer
self.subscribers.find(:first, :conditions => {:is_customer => true})
end
def customer=(customer_params)
self.subscribers << Subscriber.new(:name => customer_params[:name],
:apartment => customer_params[:apartment],
:phone_number => customer_params[:phone_number],
:is_customer => true)
end
end
class Subscriber < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :entrance_object
validates_presence_of :name, :apartment
end
How do i need to validate this accessor in order to hightlight missing fields in a view?
P.S. I'm newbie in RoR, maybe there is another approach to such work with one element from a collection? Thanks.
