require 'stringio' class ActiveRecord::Base # Provides ability to add the translations for the model using delegate pattern. # Uses has_many association to the ModelNameTranslation. # # For example you have model Article with attributes title and text. # You want that attributes title and text to be translated. # For this reason you need to generate new model ArticleTranslation. # In migration you need to add: # # create_table :article_translations do |t| # t.references :article, :null => false # t.string :locale, :length => 2, :null => false # t.string :name, :null => false # end # # add_index :articles, [:article_id, :locale], :unique => true, :name => 'unique_locale_for_article_id' # # And in the Article model: # # translations :title, :text # # This will adds: # # * named_scope (translated) and has_many association to the Article model # * locale presence validation to the ArticleTranslation model. # # Notice: if you want to have validates_presence_of :article, you should use :inverse_of. # Support this by yourself. Better is always to use artile.translations.build() method. # # For more information please read API. Feel free to write me an email to: # dmitry.polushkin@gmail.com. # # === # # You also can pass attributes and options to the translations class method: # # translations :title, :text, :fallback => true, :writer => true, :nil => nil # # === # # Configuration options: # # * :fallback - if translation for the current locale not found. # By default true. # Uses algorithm of fallback: # 0) current translation (using I18n.locale); # 1) default locale (using I18n.default_locale); # 2) :nil value (see :nil configuration option) # * :reader - add reader attributes to the model and delegate them # to the translation model columns. Add's fallback if it is set to true. # * :writer - add writer attributes to the model and assign them # to the translation model attributes. # * :nil - when reader cant find string, it returns by default an # empty string. If you want to change this setting for example to nil, # add :nil => nil # # === # # When you are using :writer option, you can create translations using # update_attributes method. For example: # # Article.create! # Article.update_attributes(:title => 'title', :text => 'text') # # === # # translated named_scope is useful when you want to find only those # records that are translated to a specific locale. # For example if you want to find all Articles that is translated to an english # language, you can write: Article.translated(:en) # # has_translation?(locale) method, that returns true if object's model # have a translation for a specified locale # # translation(locale) method finds translation with specified locale. # # all_translations method that returns all possible translations in # ordered hash (useful when creating forms with nested attributes). def self.translations(*attrs) options = { :fallback => true, :reader => true, :writer => false, :nil => '' }.merge(attrs.extract_options!) options.assert_valid_keys([:fallback, :reader, :writer, :nil]) class << self # adds :translations to :includes if current locale differs from default #FIXME is this enough with find or need to create chain for find_last, find_first and others?
