Module: Camping::Models

Module | Camping::Models
In: | lib/camping-unabridged.rb lib/camping/ar.rb

Models is an empty Ruby module for housing model classes derived from ActiveRecord::Base. As a shortcut, you may derive from Base which is an alias for ActiveRecord::Base.

      module Camping::Models
        class Post < Base; belongs_to :user end
        class User < Base; has_many :posts end
      end

## Where Models are Used

Models are used in your controller classes. However, if your model class name conflicts with a controller class name, you will need to refer to it using the Models module.

      module Camping::Controllers
        class Post < R '/post/(\d+)'
          def get(post_id)
            @post = Models::Post.find post_id
            render :index
          end
        end
      end

Models cannot be referred to in Views at this time.

### Constants

A | = | ActiveRecord
Base | = | A::Base |  | Base is an alias for ActiveRecord::Base. The big warning I‘m going to give you about this: *Base overloads table_name_prefix.* This means that if you have a model class Blog::Models::Post, it‘s table name will be `blog_posts`. ActiveRecord is not loaded if you never reference this class. The minute you use the ActiveRecord or Camping::Models::Base class, then the ActiveRecord library is loaded.
