Hi, We''re exploring the new world of named scopes (hooray) and wondered about some functionality. If I have for example named_scope :foo, :conditions => {:bar => true, :quux => 2} which obviously creates a Model.foo method, would it be possible to automatically generate a method Model#foo? which told you whether an instance of that model was a member of the Model.foo collection? The idea is that the named scope would let you do things like model Article named_scope :published, :conditions => { :some => :conditions } end @article = Article.published.first # for the entire model @article.published? # for any given article Is there any reason this wouldn''t be possible?> Thanks, Gareth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
