Hey Guys, need a hand again…
Lets say I have an Order… and an Order has Order Lines and Order_Lines
have Items…
I want to create a New Order, which would have New Order Lines with the
same
Items…
Is there a fast / easy way to do this, w/o having to create a new order,
loop through all the order lines, and create them associating them with
the
Items?
Any help would be great, thanks

Perhaps
class Order < ActiveRecord::Base
def clone
cloned = super
cloned.lineitems = lineitems.map(&:clone)
cloned
end
end

Help me out… what does clone = super do?
and .map(&:clone) would create new lines pointing to the same items?
Thanks in advance.

super calls the superclass’ clone method. We get a cloned AR instance
back.
and .map(&:clone) would create new lines pointing to the same items?
then we clone the original lineitems and assign them to the cloned
instance.
ActiveRecord::Base#clone copies the record’s attributes and removes its
id,
so it’s the same data ready to save anew.
