class User < ActiveRecord::Base | |
# keep the default scope first (if any) | |
default_scope { where(active: true) } | |
# constants come up next | |
COLORS = %w(red green blue) | |
# afterwards we put attr related macros | |
attr_accessor :formatted_date_of_birth | |
attr_accessible :login, :first_name, :last_name, :email, :password | |
# Rails 4+ enums after attr macros | |
enum gender: { female: 0, male: 1 } | |
# followed by association macros | |
belongs_to :country | |
has_many :authentications, dependent: :destroy | |
# and validation macros | |
validates :email, presence: true | |
validates :username, presence: true | |
validates :username, uniqueness: { case_sensitive: false } | |
validates :username, format: { with: /\A[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9._-]{2,19}\z/ } | |
validates :password, format: { with: /\A\S{8,128}\z/, allow_nil: true } | |
# next we have callbacks | |
before_save :cook | |
before_save :update_username_lower | |
# other macros (like devise's) should be placed after the callbacks | |
... | |
end | |
has_many :through | |
Prefer has_many :through to has_and_belongs_to_many. Using has_many :through allows additional attributes and validations on the join model. | |
# not so good - using has_and_belongs_to_many | |
class User < ActiveRecord::Base | |
has_and_belongs_to_many :groups | |
end | |
class Group < ActiveRecord::Base | |
has_and_belongs_to_many :users | |
end | |
# preferred way - using has_many :through | |
class User < ActiveRecord::Base | |
has_many :memberships | |
has_many :groups, through: :memberships | |
end | |
class Membership < ActiveRecord::Base | |
belongs_to :user | |
belongs_to :group | |
