Hey,
I was just wondering what the best practice for this situation would
be. I've got two models(word, definition) both with destroy methods in
the controllers that just change the model.status to "deleted". In the
words controller I'd like it to call the definition_controller destroy
method on definition models. And I'm just blanking on how to do this
like a regular model method. Would I have to double the destory method
in the model? Then I wouldn't be adhering to dry.
// words_controller.rb
def destroy
begin
ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do
@word = Word.find(params[:id], :include => :definitions)
@word.status = 'deleted'
@word.save
@word.definitions.each do |h|
h.destroy // Actually destorys the record instead of just
setting the status to "deleted"
end
end
rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid => invalid
flash[:notice] = 'Word was not deleted'
render :action => "new"
end
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to(words_url) }
end
end
// definitions_controller.rb
def destroy
begin
ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do
@definition = Definition.find(params[:id])
@definition.status = 'deleted'
@definition.save
end
rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid => invalid
flash[:notice] = 'Definition was not deleted'
render :controller => :words, :action => "new"
end
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to(words_url) }
end
end
Thanks,
bp
