I am trying to make a before_save in a rails app conditional, but it doesn't seem to be working.
before_save method_call_to_run if self.related_model.some_method_that_returns_t_or_f?
If the 'some_method_that_returns_t_or_f' returns true, I want it to run the method before it saves the object otherwise I just want it to ignore the before_save.
Rails 5
I've had success defining a private method which contains the boolean logic and then passing it as a symbol (that last part seems like a requirement):
before_save do_something, if: :private_boolean_method?
I also recently found out you can simply pass a block (took me a while to figure out the syntax):
before_save do_something, if: -> { condition == "met" }
