Question

I just came across something that I have to do

find_or_create

or

where(attributes).first_or_create

as this post suggests.

But there’s something I have been wondering

Is there an way to determine which action was triggered? (Because I want to display proper notice if it’s created) BTW. I’m using Ruby 1.9.3

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Use __method__ if ruby is 1.9.3+

if ['new','include'].include? __method__ then
  ...
else
  ...
end
