how to call a active record named scope with a string

Question

I\'m sure I\'m miss understanding the use of call but I thought I could do something like this.

@case_studies = CaseStudy.call(\"some_named_scope\")
         


        

Answer 1

If I understand what you mean, that's what you should call it:

@case_studies = CaseStudy.send(:some_named_scope)

You can use send to call a method and pass either a symbol or a string to it.
