Example java code is below if I have a class Movie
In java I will create its array by writing below code
Movie[] a = new Movie[4];
but how I can do it in rails So that when I check it on the console
#> a.type
#> "Movie"
Reather than
#> ActiveRecord::Relation
You just create a class by inherited from Array like below,
class MyArray < Array
#Add you custom methods
end
my_array = MyArray.new([1,2,3,4,5]) or
my_array = MyArray.new
my_array[0] = 1
my_array[1] = 2
That enough for basic customization of array data structure.
Literal translation would be
a = (1..4).map { Movie.new }
or (in Rails)
a = (1..4).map { Movie.create! }
but you normally shouldn't need to do it, since unlike in Java, you don't have limited-size arrays in Ruby.
Also, the type of that would then be Array (or rather its class; basic Ruby objects don't have type); the type of an element of that, a[0] for example, would be a Movie.
In the end, not quite sure what you're asking here...
