Question

I am trying to create a Active Record tableless Model. My user.rb looks like this

  class_inheritable_accessor :columns

         


        

Answer 1

class Tableless

  include ActiveModel::Validations
  include ActiveModel::Conversion
  extend ActiveModel::Naming

  def self.attr_accessor(*vars)
    @attributes ||= []
    @attributes.concat( vars )
    super
  end

 def self.attributes
   @attributes
 end

 def initialize(attributes={})
   attributes && attributes.each do |name, value|
     send("#{name}=", value) if respond_to? name.to_sym 
   end
 end

def persisted?
  false
end

def self.inspect
  "#<#{ self.to_s} #{ self.attributes.collect{ |e| ":#{ e }" }.join(', ') }>"
end

end
