But now my views are littered with:
articles.get_list(online__exact=True)
I'd much prefer to have this online check to be done "behind the
scenes" so I don't forget to test for it in someplace....
Rails has a neat solution to this problem: http://api.rubyonrails.com/
classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html#M000728
Article.with_scope(:find => { :conditions => "blog_id = 1" }) do
Article.find(1) # => SELECT * from articles WHERE blog_id = 1
AND id = 1
end
In the above block, all find operations automatically have a "WHERE
blog_id = 1" clause added to them.
I'm not sure if this would be easy or even wise to duplicate in
Django, but it's an interesting solution.
Cheers,
