Hello, I'm a newbie and would be appreciated for any help.
So that's the situation: I try to build a simple rails app which will give users an opportunity to manage a list of some product. But except creating by user, some products list should be loaded into the view when app starts. This list is produced by parsing information from a web-site. I've already write a ruby script which collects the data and push it into "Product" object.
And now, how to implement that in rails app enviroment? Here I have "Product" model with the required parameters, but where I should implement initial creating these products (when app starts) to see them at the view? Something like that:
=========== some_file.rb(model?conroller?) ===========
def pull_data(WEBSITE_URL) ... # parsing data into initial_products array ... # creating new records according to the parsed objects initial_products.each do |p| Product.new(p.field1, p.field2, ...) end ... end
============== product.rb ==============
class Product < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible %list of parameters% end
