Hi,
I have a constant in Model like;
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
STATES = {:id => 100, :status => “public”},
{:id => 110, :status => “protected”},
{:id => 120, :status => “private”},
{:id => 130, :status => “deleted”}
end
And i write a method to find elements in that STATES constant
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
…
def self.find_state(key, value)
Post::STATES.collect { |state| return state if state[:"#{key}"] ==
value }
end
end
When I write Post.find_state(‘status’, ‘private’) it brings me back
that hash and i get id with the symbol of [:id].
How can I improve this? Could i use it like “Post::STATES.find(:id =>
120)” or something else? or Could i use it in a named_scope like
“named_scope :status”?
I need your advices.
Thanks
