Public Class methods

load_demo()

Fixture-like way of creating initial data, except that it actually calls the real model methods This way things like acts_as_list and versioning get setup properly for these records The syntax is that you call create_whatever(:something, …), where whatever is the model name, something is the identifier you give this record, and the … is the hash of options to pass to the model constructor. By calling the create_ method, you can then refer to the record later in the same way you would with fixtures, by saying whatevers(:something)
