== What?

class User \< ActiveRecord::Base  
scoped\_proxy :role do |role|  
{  
:find =\> { :conditions =\> [‘role = ?’, role] }  
}  
end  
scoped\_proxy :deleted, :find =\> {  
:conditions =\> ‘deleted\_at is not null’  
}  
end

admins = User.role(‘admin’)  
admins.count # =\> 12  
admins.find(:all) # =\> […]

User.deleted.count # =\> a number

== More!

Swiss.rb is a small project for a small country. Here we’ll release all  
sorts of small projects that we would not release otherwise - partly  
issued by the local ruby user group, partly things we develop for  
applications.

ScopedProxy is a small plugin for ActiveRecord that allows you to name  
a set of sql conditions (like role(‘admin’)) and then access it through  
that name. Really the logical consequence of with\_scope!

This latest version has default proxies that take effect when no other  
proxy is in effect. This is quite useful for always restricting search,  
not just when using a named proxy.

enterprisey 😉 Please let us know what you think! If you have something
