rails 3 : Do i need to give return true in a before_save callback for an object.save to work?

Question

Class User  
  before_save :set_searchable

  def set_searchable  
    self.searchable = true if self.status == :active  
  end  
end  

>> u = User.last  
>>         


        

Answer 1

Another cleaner way to set boolean columns without return is to use tap

  def set_searchable
    self.tap{|u| u.searchable = status.eql?(:active) }
  end
