Rails - Nov 2007 - Create my own dynamic "finder" method?

Hi all

I''m having an authorization method that looks like the following:

def user_requests_authorization_to(right_name)
  ...
end

I find it boring to always use

user_requests_authorization_to(''EDIT'')
user_requests_authorization_to(''CREATE'')

etc., so I thought I could implement my own dynamic method, like the
dynamic finders! Instead of the calls above I''d like to call

user_requests_authorization_to_edit
user_requests_authorization_to_create

How can I achieve that? :-) Thanks a lot, Josh

You need to override method_missing, ie

def method_missing(method_id, *arguments)
   if method_id looks like user_requests_authorization_to_something
     user_requests_authorization_to(something)
   else
     super
   end
end
