what is "line_items"?

rubyonrails-talk

hi guys, I am looking at #141 PayPal Basics - RailsCasts and I am trying to figure out what's line_items?

Is it a reserved keyword representing a row of a multi row form or is it just a variable that's called line_items (and is not a reserved keyword)?

If it is a reserved keyword/function in rails, can someone please point me to some documentation?

thanks

Gordon

line_items is a model/table.

class LineItem < ActiveRecord::Base   belongs_to :cart   belongs_to :product

  def full_price     unit_price * quantity   end end

ah right. So it is a user defined model. Am I right?

Yes, it’s a user defined model.
