Question

I have a query, which works fine:

ModelName.where('true')

I can chain this with other AR calls such as where, order etc. However when I use:

ModelName.all

I receive the “same” response but can’t chain a where or order to it as it’s an array rather than a AR collection.
Whereas I have no pragmatic problem using the first method it seems a bit ugly/unnecessary. Is there a cleaner way of doing this maybe a .to_active_record_collection or something?

Answer 1

There is an easy solution. Instead of using

ModelName.where('true')

Use:

ModelName.scoped
