Hi everyone.
I just ran into an issue which I solved in an...er...interesting way, and I'm trying to figure out if my solution is brilliant or terrible.
Basically, I have a Date attribute in one of my AR models which I would like my views to display with a particular format (other than what Date#to_s gives). Rather than have to call a formatting method on this attribute every time I use it in a view, what I have done is to override the to_s method on the object's singleton class.
Does this make sense? Is there a better way to handle date formatting in Rails?
Best,
