How can I make named_scope in Rails return one value instead of an array?
- by sameera207
I want to write a [named scope] to get a record from its id.
For example, I have a model called Event, and I want to simulate Event.find(id) with use of named_scope for future flexibility.
I used this code in my model:
named_scope :from_id, lambda { |id| {:conditions => ['id= ?', id] } }
and I call it from my controller like Event.from_id(id). But my problem is that it returns an array of Event objects instead of just one object.
Thus if I want to get event name, I have to write
event = Event.from_id(id)
event[0].name
while what I want is
event = Event.from_id(id)
event.name
Am I doing something wrong here?
