Call a method in model after find in Ruby on Rails

Question

I would like to know if it is possible to call a method from a model after using find.

Something like after_save, but after_find.

Answer 1

If you need the found object in your method:

class SomeClass < ActiveRecord::Base
  after_find{ |o| do_something(o) }

  def do_something(o)
    # ...
  end
end
