find conditions via hash

to rails model by kioo on Apr 23, 2008
Instead of simply adding a list of things at the end of the array, you can also pass in a hash and change the question marks to actual named replacements. This can help you keep the order of your arguments straight.

Event.find(
  :all,
  :conditions => [ "title like :search or description like :search",
                   {:search => "%Tiki%"}]
)

writing destructive string methods in Ruby

to ruby rails by deckard on Jan 10, 2008
Use string class' method "replace" to overwrite its "self" value.

Example:

  def decapitalize!
    replace (self.reverse.chop + self.reverse.last.downcase).reverse
  end
  
  def decapitalize
    dup.decapitalize!
  end
