I would like to merge this method from a controller into a separate model, called search.
class DudesController < ApplicationController def search @address = params[:address] @within = params[:within]
@dudes = Restaurant.find :all, :origin => @address, :within => @within, :order => 'distance'
respond_to do |format| format.html # index.html.erb format.xml { render :xml => @restaurants } end end
This is the search model:
class Search < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_mappable :auto_geocode => true validates_numericality_of :minimum_age, :maximum_age, :allow_nil => true
def dudes @dudes ||= find_dudes end
private
def find_dudes Dude.find(:all, :conditions => conditions) end
def minimum_age_conditions ["dudes.birthdate <= ?", Date.today - minimum_age.years] unless minimum_age.blank? end
def maximum_age_conditions ["dudes.birthdate >= ?", Date.tomorrow - (maximum_age+1).years] unless maximum_age.blank? end
def category_conditions ["dudes.category_id = ?", category_id] unless category_id.blank? end
def conditions [conditions_clauses.join(' AND '), *conditions_options] end
def conditions_clauses conditions_parts.map { |condition| condition.first } end
def conditions_options conditions_parts.map { |condition| condition[1..-1] }.flatten end
def conditions_parts private_methods(false).grep(/_conditions$/).map { |m| send(m) }.compact end
end
I assume I would write something like
def location_conditions
end
I don't know how to get the dude.address into a location_conditions method. The search controller is a simple scaffold with the search using the create method.
