Hi everyone Does anybody has an example of a rails classmodel? I learn rails now and I’m wondering, how does a classmodel of rails look like! Thanks for your suggestions… ---

You mean an active record model class? There are literally hundreds of examples from tutorials all over the web. You will need to have a basic grasp of Object Oriented programming concepts like classes, encapsulation, etc. Have a look here: [http://api.rubyonrails.org/files/vendor/rails/activerecord/README.html](http://api.rubyonrails.org/files/vendor/rails/activerecord/README.html) It gives enough example of models to get you started. (Hint: It is the part that starts “class Product \< ActiveRecord::Base”) -christos ---

I’ve some different model classes in my rails-project. Now, I would like to draw a picture of my design - it’s calling design model. These design model is a image, that explain, how the different classes are arranged in the model and which relationships they have to the other model classes. Draw a design model is a step in the software engineering process. ---

That is incredibly cool. It also saves me the trouble of teaching SQL Fairy about Rails conventions =) ---
