I have:
class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :Customer_Type
end
class Customer_Type < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :Customers
end
Is there a built-in way to auto populate customer_type_id
based on the “Human name” of the Customer_Type_ID?
c = Customer.new( :name => “John D.”, :customer_type_name =>
“Wholesale” )
c[:Customer_Type_ID] == 10 (if 10 is the id for the “Wholesale”
customer type)
