Doing things in models on save/update

June 19th, 2006

So, I wanted to do some sweet gsubbing before the save of projects in Rails. I found the API docs had a wealth of information about this, but I figured I’d post my method anyway:


  before_create :fix_amount
  before_update :fix_amount

Now you just define them under private in the model:


  def fix_amount
    self.amount.gsub!(/^\$/, "")
  end

This takes those pesky $’s right out, back to the back yard where they belong.
