The def_dataset_method plugin adds Model.def_dataset_method for defining dataset methods:
Album.def_dataset_method(:by_name) do |name| where(name: name) end
Additionally, this adds support for Model.subset, which can also be used to define dataset methods that add specific filters:
Album.subset(:gold){copies_sold >= 500000}
This exists for backwards compatibility with previous Sequel
versions.
Usage:
# Make all model subclasses support Model.def_dataset_method # (called before loading subclasses) Sequel::Model.plugin :def_dataset_method # Make the Album class support Model.def_dataset_method Album.plugin :def_dataset_method
