Instance Method Details

#eav_attributes(model) ⇒ Object

Return a list of valid eav attributes for the given model. Return nil if any field is allowed. If you want to say no field is allowed then return an empty array. If you just have a static list the :fields option is most likely easier.

# File 'lib/acts_as_eav_model.rb', line 353

def eav_attributes(model); nil end

#is_eav_attribute?(attribute_name, model) ⇒ Boolean

Will determine if the given attribute is a eav attribute on the given model. Override this in your class to provide custom logic if the #eav_attributes method or the :fields option are not flexible enough. If you override this method :fields and #eav_attributes will not apply at all unless you implement them yourself.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

  attribute_name = attribute_name.to_s
  model_options = eav_options[model.name]
  return model_options[:fields].include?(attribute_name) unless model_options[:fields].nil?

    eav_attributes(model).nil?
  true
end

#respond_to_with_eav_behavior?(method_id, include_private = false) ⇒ Boolean

CLK added a respond_to? implementation so that ActiveRecord AssociationProxy (polymorphic relationships) does not mask the method_missing implementation here. See: rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/2378-associationproxymethod_missing-masks-method_missing-in-models Updated when certain magic fields (like timestamp columns) were interfering with saves, etc. oldwiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/MagicFieldNames

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
