I need to create certain number of UUId records(based on the selection of drop down) and save it in the database. Now I am generating only one unique id. Can this be done in the model in this way. Or do I need to write a helper file for that??

def generate_unique_token=(value) self.secret = Base64.encode64(UUIDTools::UUID.random_create)[0..8] end

In my controller...........

def create      @secretcode= Secretcode.new(params[:secretcode])      @user= User.new(params[:user])      @secretcode.user_id=@user @secretcode.generate_unique_token=params[:secretcode][:secret]      if @secretcode.valid?         @secretcode.save         redirect_to secretcodes_path      else        render 'new'      end end

In my view page

before_save :guarantee_uuid!

private def uuid   if !uuid_field?     write_attribute :uuid_field, # UUID CODE HERE   end end

That is how I would personally do it, put it all in a method and trigger it with before_save, this also gives you the option to generate the UUID and modify/add it in other places too.
