Can I take the.save method of certain activeRecord models and add functionality to it? I would also like to use some of the attributes of the item being saved in that function
Can I do something like?
class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
def self.save
<added stuff for save>
<including some_other_id_from_this_item>
end
end
or will that break things? And how do I actually access this_item.the_column_i_need?
You should use ActiveRecords callbacks to extend the behavior of save.
With the before_save hook you can access data before the record is saved, for example to change case of entered email you can do something like
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
before_save :downcase_email
def downcase_email
email.downcase!
end
end
use callback aftet_save instead. access to any column just by attribute name if you read and self.db_column_name if you need to change it
