I implemented a Temperature model for my application. It is pretty basic, composed of a temperature, a unit and some conversion methods. In my app model I decided to store temperature values in Fahrenheit, so there is no need to remember the units between invocations. I am having a little trouble composing my app model. A little bit of my temperature class: class Temperature # Composed of

ActiveRecord supports composed_of for value objects which is fantastic but one thing that it doesn''t seem to support (or at least I am unable to find any documentation for) validation of the value objects. For example, given the following: class Message < ActiveRecord::Base composed_of :sender, :class_name => ''EmailAddress'' composed_of :recipient,

I am relatively new to rails and I cannot figure out what is going on here. I am using the composed_of method in an ActiveRecord class to create two aggregate properties: shipping_address and billing_address. The object properties are getting populated from the form and validation is working - no problem. When I call order.save, though, everything is being saved except the address fields. I am not

Does anyone know the best way to track time zone information. There doesn''t seem to be much documentation on this. So far it seems like a simple db field like create table accounts ( id int unsigned not null auto_increment, name varchar(50) not null, time_zone varchar(50) not null, ... primary key (id) ) and a class like class Account < AR ...

Hi, How do I validate a composed_of attribute in my model? I have a product model with: composed_of :price, :class_name => ''Money'', :mapping => %w(cents cents) This maps the price attribute to the Money (http://dist.leetsoft.com/api/money/) class. I want to make sure that the price only contains a price to 2 decimal places i.e. 1.25. This is because if someone enters

I have a number of models that use an aggregation to combine First Name, Middle Initial and Last Name and they have been working fine. I am looking to clean this up, DRY it if possible. I have things like this in application.rb class Clwholename attr_reader :first_name, :middle_initial, :last_name def initialize(first_name, middle_initial, last_name) @first_name = first_name

I am slightly struggling to get a basic aggregation setup For example I have a column in my database called "email" which stores an email address.

Hello! I''m looking for assistance EXTENDING an example from the Agile Web Development With Rails book: Composing Data with Aggregation (page 324). I''m trying to map three columns to a single Ruby object.

I''m using backgroundrb for session management and deletion of visitor-entered information when a session is abandoned. The visitor can either click a button to end their session and remove their data, or backgroundrb will do it for them after 5 minutes of inactivity. Everything''s working fine, I think. If the visitor explicitly logs out, then when the worker checks for their

Long time programmer, but I just started learning RoR last week. I am going through some examples in the book "Ruby on Rails: Up and Running". The example I am on had me add a table to the database that looks like so: CREATE TABLE people ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `type` varchar(20) default NULL, `name` varchar(20) default NULL, `email` varchar(30) default NULL,
