I’m creating an object that when called it will create an database record and I want this function to return the newly created object. This is what I got:
data = {foo: 'foo', bar: 'bar'}
Dummy.new(data).save! # true
Dummy.last # newest record in the database
I’m concerned about what this would mean when there are more than one sessions on the same database. Is there a sure-fire way of getting the record I just created?
>Solution :
Just assign the instance you created to a variable:
data = {foo: 'foo', bar: 'bar'}
dummy = Dummy.new(data)
dummy.save!
dummy # the record you just created
Or use create! instead of new and save! like this:
data = {foo: 'foo', bar: 'bar'}
Dummy.create!(data) # returns the created instance or raises an error if not successful
