Question

How can i fetch in a model a method that would return the value of a specific model.

The code is has follow

Model Article

def article_title(id)
    art = Article.find_by_id(id)
    return art.title
end

The view is as follow

<% arttitle = Article.article_title(id) %>

This doesn’t work but i am not sure what the way to do it

Answer 1

The method should be defined as a class method, with self keyword

def self.article_title(id)
    Article.find(id).title
end
