Recently I’ve been using ModelName.where(nil) in certain situations when I might use ModelName.all.
The difference between the two is that the former returns an ActiveRecord Relation, whereas the latter returns an array. I can chain queries off the former, but not the latter. I’m not pleased that I lose the self-documenting nature of ModelName.all though.
Is there some method like ModelName.all that returns an AR Relation and maintains self-documentation?
ModelName.scoped will give you an AR relation with the default scope, ModelName.unscoped will give the the AR relation without the default scope.
