I''ve been looking on the internet for the feature in rails where you
can
specify an association extend module on the actual class.
So for example
class Printer < AR::Base
some_association_extend_method_that_i_cant_figure_out do
def [](value)
find_by_name(value)
end
end
end
class Product < AR::Base
has_many :printers
end
product.printers["name"] # <-- should return the printer if it
exists
Product["name"] # <-- should work as well.
Does anyone know what im talking about? I saw it once, I can''t find it
again.
