I really dig your blog, and the “cool Ruby questions” series specifically.

Sorry if that sounds like total dumbass nitpicking, but a few whitespaces in the first code sample won’t hurt IMO:

@owner, @balance = owner, amount ... @balance -= amount if (@balance - amount) > 0

Khelll,

In order to reduce the complexity of my observers, I would like to know if it is possible for my Observer to observe specific methods (not just the models) of my models, like this:
def after_
…
end

Thanks, guilherme

No worries, always try to make your code readable by breaking it to parts that makes sense. Observers are cool place for callbacks and complex code related to them.

In my last post I wrote: “I’ve answered my question!”. SORRY, it should have been: “YOU’ve answered my question!”

Thanks,

When I mentioned “actions” I did not mean controller’s actions, I meant inputs in my db to register loggs and things like that, sorry.
I also use them as callbacks to model methods. I’ve answered my question!

thanks again

@gui_maranhao, Rails Observers don't work with controller actions, instead with model callbacks. Anyway I prefer observers for callbacks to normal model methods, specially when the code base becomes complex.

Hello,

I intend to create an Observes to observe some models that dispatch specific actions. Depends on the current model, one of the actions is dispatched. To know which action must be dispatched, many business rules should be certified, making my Observer very complex.
Do you recommend to create this kind of Observer?

thanks, guilherme maranhão
