Sequel Models
Today we created model classes for each of our database tables. It was way easier than we expected and required just a single line: class Year < Sequel::Model; end. Sometimes reading the documentation yields quicker-than-expected results!!
Then, after adding associations between the classes (such as one-to-many :recipients) we were able to dig around our dataset objects and look at (for example) what methods were available to what objects. payments_sorted.all.first.values.methods returned a different list of available methods to payments_sorted.all.methods.
We also worked out how to see what columns an object contained, and how to add a new key/value combination to it.
Tomorrow we’re both installing SSDs into our laptops. This may mean our computers will be out-of-action at the end of the day, so we may not be able to post here tomorrow…
