Maybe have query methods for boolean attributes and prefixed query methods for not. e.g. post.visible? post.has_url? Or maybe leave the currently methods as they are, but add new prefixed methods, with different prefixes for boolean methods, e.g. post.is_visible? post.has_url? > > Sam > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Core" group. > To post to this group, send email to rubyonrails-core@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > rubyonrails-core+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-core?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
