Instance Method Details

#[](key) ⇒ Object

If key is a Hash, Proc, or an Array containing a Hash or Proc then it acts like an alias for find_by or find_all respectively. It delegates the call to super in all other cases.

pages = QueryableArray.new Page.all

pages[uri: '/']                # => #<Page @uri='/' @name='Home'>
pages[uri: '/', name: 'Home']  # => #<Page @uri='/' @name='Home'>
pages[uri: '/', name: 'Typo']  # => nil

pages[[uri: '/']]                # => [#<Page @uri='/' @name='Home'>]
pages[[uri: '/', name: 'Typo']]  # => []

pages[uri: proc { |uri| uri.count('/') > 1 }]  # => #<Page @uri='/users/bob' @name='Bob'>
