Rails - May 2009 - @new_record_before_save

Is there an easy way to access the ActiveRecord
@new_record_before_save attribute?

Thanks,
Tom

Maybe...

 >> u = User.new
 >> u.new_record?
=> true

Well, it depends on what you mean by easy.

model.instance_variable_get(''@new_record_before_save'') will
work

If you''re using an older ActiveRecord and you are trying to tell the  
difference between a find_or_create_by_..., You can "rely" on the  
deprecated model.new_record?.nil? to know that it was a find  
(model.new_record? == false means it was actually a create)
