Reload instance data on instantiate

Rails
1

I’m working on a website which interacts with Amazon web services.

I have an Item class which is a cache for amazon items. I’d like to
have the class instances to refresh data every day (Time.now -
item.last_updated > 1.day) but not sure how.

I’ve tried with

class Item < ActiveRecord::Base

…

private
def instantiate(record)
super

  refresh_data!
  logger.info "refresh test"
end

end

but nothing happens.

Any ideas on this? Is ‘instantiate’ the method I’m looking for?

Thanks,
Koke

try “initialize” and I believe it needs to be public. initialize is
called my MyClass.new
