ruby on rails named scope implementation

Question

From the book Agile Web Development With Rails

class Order < ActiveRecord::Base
   named_scope :last_n_days, lambda { |days| {:conditions =>
      [\'updat         


        

Answer 1

Very cool. I was thinking of doing something like this in Javascript but Javascript behaves rather weird.

The statement:

var x = SomeObject;

does not call SomeObject's toString() function. But the statement:

var x;
x = SomeObject;

correctly calls the toString() function as expected.

This prevents Javascript from doing cool stuff with chaining. =(
