AutoScope Plugin

= XlSuite::AutoScope

Automatically create scoped access methods on your ActiveRecord models.

== Examples Declare your scopes within your ActiveRecord::Base subclasses.

class Contact < ActiveRecord::Base    auto_scope \        :old => {:find => {:conditions => ["born_on < ?", 30.years.ago]}},        :young => {:find => {:conditions => ["born_on > ?", 1.year.ago]}} end

class Testimonial < ActiveRecord::Base    auto_scope \        :approved => {            :find => {:conditions => ["approved_at < ?", proc {Time.now}]},            :create => {:approved_at => proc {Time.now}}},        :unapproved => {            :find => {:conditions => "approved_at IS NULL"},            :create => {:approved_at => nil}} end

These declarations give you access to the following scoped methods: Testimonial.approved.count Testimonial.unapproved.create!(params[:testimonial]) @young_contacts = Contact.young @contacts = Contact.old.find(:all, :conditions => ["name LIKE ?", params[:name]])
