Hey Guys,
Again, I am just learning Rails, so I am asking advice here.
I have a model called Company which has many Owners. The Owners model
indicates the name of the owner and their share (as a percentage) of
the company. The total shares for any one company can not be more than
100%.
So if I have 10 owners each with 10% of the company and I update one
of the owners and set their share to 11%, I should be given a warning
message.
This is what I have done in my Owner model:
def more_than_100_given_away?
# => find the total share
company = Company.find(company_id)
company_total_share = company.total_share # => This is summing the
old value
if changed?
if changes["share"] # => Changes to a model are stored in the
changes array on the instance, the array has 2 value ["from_value",
"to_value"]
old_value = changes["share"][0].to_f # => Convert To Float
new_value = changes["share"][1].to_f
new_total_share = company_total_share - old_value + new_value
new_total_share > 100.01
else
