Question

If I add something to a model’s create method

note.rb

def self.create p
    p 'in self.create'
    super p
end

user.rb

has_many :notes

It gets run whenever I call Note.create. But if I call create on an association, like current_user.notes.create, it doesn’t get run. Why is that?

Answer 1

To redefine association create method you can pass a block with new create method to has_many association:

user.rb:

has_many :notes do
  def create
    p '123'
    super
  end
end
