default_scope in rails 3

Question

I know named_scope has been changed to scope in rails 3.

How do I perform default_scope in rails 3, I've had a good google but found nothing for defaults scopes.

Solution 1

default_scope is available in Rails 3.0, see the following

• Lighthouse Ticket referencing default_scope in Rails 3.0
• Github Rails 3.0 scope code
• Railscast about scope in Rails 3.0

Solution 2

Here's another pointer: the api doc for AR::Base.default_scope

Is default_scope going to remain in rails3? It won't be deprecated in coming versions?

[Patrick Klingemann]

I use default_scope in a number of of Rails3 apps and I haven't seen a deprecation warning, so I assume it will remain.

in rails 3.2 this is the method api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Scoping/Default/…
