Mixin for models subclassed from ActiveRecord::Base providing support methods to handle common show and list filtering actions based on inbound data and create instances in a request context aware fashion.

It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you use the likes of:

…to retrieve model data related to resource instances and participate “for free” in whatever plug-in ActiveRecord modules are mixed into the model classes, such as Hoodoo::ActiveRecord::Secure.

included( model )

Instantiates this module when it is included.

Example:

class SomeModel < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Hoodoo::ActiveRecord::Finder
  # ...
end

Depends upon and auto-includes Hoodoo::ActiveRecord::Secure.

model

The ActiveRecord::Base descendant that is including this module.

Source: show 

# File lib/hoodoo/active/active_record/finder.rb, line 52
def self.included( model )
  model.class_attribute(
    :nz_co_loyalty_hoodoo_show_id_fields,
    :nz_co_loyalty_hoodoo_show_id_substitute,
    :nz_co_loyalty_hoodoo_estimate_counts_with,
    :nz_co_loyalty_hoodoo_search_with,
    :nz_co_loyalty_hoodoo_filter_with,
    {
      :instance_predicate => false,
      :instance_accessor  => false
    }
  )

  unless model == Hoodoo::ActiveRecord::Base
    model.send( :include, Hoodoo::ActiveRecord::Secure )
    instantiate( model )
  end

  super( model )
end
instantiate( model )

When instantiated in an ActiveRecord::Base subclass, all of the Hoodoo::ActiveRecord::Finder::ClassMethods methods are defined as class methods on the including class.

This module depends upon Hoodoo::ActiveRecord::Secure, so that will be auto-included first if it isn't already.
