I have a method that returns either a comment stored in the flash (if it
exists) or a new comment. It works when I put it in my application
controller:
def preform_comment
if flash[:badcomment].nil?
comment = Comment.new
return comment
else
return flash[:badcomment]
end
end
However it would be cleaner to put this in the Comment model, so I
tried:
def self.preform
if flash[:badcomment].nil?
comment = Comment.new
return comment
else
return flash[:badcomment]
end
end
But then I get the error
undefined local variable or method `flash’ for Comment:Class
Is there another way to access the flash from the model?
