And maybe better to not mess with the `def initialize`, but use the
`after_initialize` function that is provided by Rails. I did it like this.
../lib/uuid_helper.rb
require 'uuidtools'
module UUIDHelper
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
included do
after_initialize :set_uuid
def set_uuid
unless uuid # Note 1 below
self.uuid = UUIDTools::UUID.random_create.to_s
end
end
end
end
../app/model/person.rb
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
# UUID
include UUIDHelper
...
end
Note 1:
Be careful, it is a little tricky to _only_ set the value of the uuid
when it is not yet present, otherwise reading back the value
from the database will build a new instance of Person with a
new random uuid. The code above is well tested and works.
Maybe you will also need to add ../lib to your default load path.
In config/application.rb
# Custom directories with classes and modules you want to be
autoloadable.
config.autoload_paths += %W(#{config.root}/lib)
config.autoload_paths += Dir["#{config.root}/lib/**/"]

I don't have a config/application.rb. Forgot to mention it, but I'mwrote:

In the view
<%= link_to_remote "Add a Person", :url => "/people/add_person" %>
In the controller
def add_person
person = Person.new()
person.hoh = $hoh
$hoh = $hoh - 1
render :update do |page|
page.insert_html :bottom, 'empty', :partial => 'shared/
person', :object => person
end
end
This will add a new object AND allow the play with the hoh in the new
model AND decrement it for the next new object.
As usual, everything is possible in Rails, once you find an allowed
way to do it,
