module Authlogic module AuthenticatesMany # An object of this class is used as a proxy for the authenticates_many relationship. It basically allows you to "save" scope details # and call them on an object, which allows you to do the following: # # @account.user_sessions.new # @account.user_sessions.find # # ... etc # # You can call all of the class level methods off of an object with a saved scope, so that calling the above methods scopes the user # sessions down to that specific account. To implement this via ActiveRecord do something like: # # class User < ActiveRecord::Base # authenticates_many :user_sessions # end class Association attr_accessor :klass, :find_options, :id def initialize(klass, find_options, id) self.klass = klass self.find_options = find_options self.id = id end [:create, :create!, :find, :new].each do |method| class_eval <<-"end_eval", __FILE__, __LINE__ def #{method}(*args) klass.with_scope(scope_options) do klass.#{method}(*args) end end end_eval end alias_method :build, :new private def scope_options {:find_options => find_options, :id => id} end end end end
