how call method from model to controller in rails 3

[Pab]

Hi,

i want to know how to use method from model to be used in
controller like

sale.rb model

def list
# some stuff
end

employee controller

def show
@stamp = Sale.list
end


which shows me following error
undefined method `list'

how to over come this problem?

thanks,

You are calling list as a class method so you need to define it as a
class method

def self.list
# some stuff
end

or you need to call it as an instance method

s = Sale.new
@stamp = s.list

or even

@stamp = Sale.new.list

hi,

in employee controller

def show
@stamp=Sale.new.list
end

in sale.rb model i am using

def self.list
@list=Sale.find(:all)
return @list
end

its shows following error

Now you have the opposite problem... You are now calling list as an instance method and you have it defined as a class method.

You need to do ONE of the following.

Define it as a class method, and call it as a class method:

def self.list

  code

end

@list = Sale.list

Define it as an instance method and call it as an instance method:

def list

  code

end

@list = Sale.new.list

However, based on what the list method does, it's probably best that you do the former and have it be a class method.
