Module: Camping::Models
- Defined in:
- lib/camping-unabridged.rb,
lib/camping.rb,
lib/camping/ar.rb
Overview
Models is an empty Ruby module for housing model classes derived from ActiveRecord::Base. As a shortcut, you may derive from Base which is an alias for ActiveRecord::Base.
module Camping::Models
class Post < Base; belongs_to :user end
class User < Base; has_many :posts end
end
Where Models are Used
Models are used in your controller classes. However, if your model class name conflicts with a controller class name, you will need to refer to it using the Models module.
module Camping::Controllers
class Post < R '/post/(\d+)'
def get(post_id)
@post = Models::Post.find post_id
render :index
end
end
end
Models cannot be referred to in Views at this time.

Base is an alias for ActiveRecord::Base. The big warning I’m going to give you about this: *Base overloads table_name_prefix.* This means that if you have a model class Blog::Models::Post, it’s table name will be
blog_posts
.ActiveRecord is not loaded if you never reference this class. The minute you use the ActiveRecord or Camping::Models::Base class, then the ActiveRecord library is loaded.
