Class Method Details

.load_demo ⇒ Object

Fixture-like way of creating initial data, except that it actually calls the real model methods This way things like acts_as_list and versioning get setup properly for these records The syntax is that you call create_whatever(:something, ...), where whatever is the model name, something is the identifier you give this record, and the ... is the hash of options to pass to the model constructor. By calling the create_ method, you can then refer to the record later in the same way you would with fixtures, by saying whatevers(:something)
