I have an existing model with a set of complex scopes:
scope :test1 , where(gift: true)
scope :test2 , lambda {|time| where("last_created_at > ?", time)}
scope :test3 , where(approved: true)
I can than do something like
User.test1.test2.test3.all
Now, say I want to append a global OR scope to this. i.e. select all this (test1 + test2 +test) OR when user is an admin (not working code, of course):
scope :admin , where("OR admin=", true)
Is there any way to do this with existing scope, or does this require an all new rewrite with AREL or plain SQL?
One hack I found for this is :
scope :admin , where("1=1) OR admin=1 AND (1=1", true)
But, I mean, can this get any uglier than that.. :)
You need to use ARel, scopes are always connected with AND
