Typically, when you use STI models it's because the data will be the same, but the behavior will vary. Because a different class is loaded based on the STI type, you can handle behavior polymorphically. So rather than:
if company.firm? do_thing(company) end You would instead do: company.do_thing Then each subclass of company would implement the correct behavior for that case. For the behavior you described, you may be better served with Rails enum support: http://api.rubyonrails.org/v4.1/classes/ActiveRecord/Enum.html Allen Madsen http://www.allenmadsen.com On Fri, May 20, 2016 at 8:18 AM, Matheus Santana <edmatheus.sant...@gmail.com> wrote: > From the docs: > > class Company < ActiveRecord::Base; end > class Firm < Company; end > class Client < Company; end > class PriorityClient < Client; end > > > Boolean methods would be something like: > > company = Company.find(1) > company.firm? > company.client? > company.priority_client? > > > What about it? > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Core" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to rubyonrails-core+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to rubyonrails-core@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-core. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
