update

v1.0.0 - Show latest stable - Class: ActiveRecord::Base

update(id, attributes)

public

Finds the record from the passed id, instantly saves it with the passed attributes (if the validation permits it), and returns it. If the save fails under validations, the unsaved object is still returned.

      def update(id, attributes)
        if id.is_a?(Array)
          idx = -1
          id.collect { |id| idx += 1; update(id, attributes[idx]) }
        else
          object = find(id)
          object.update_attributes(attributes)
          object
        end
      end
