[Rails] Re: extracting a portion of a model to a separate file

Gentlemen thanks for having this conversation. Was pulling my hair out
trying to get state_machine to work with a mixin. I need to define
state_machines behaviors unique to each client while keeping a single
code base. I ended up using opening up the class like Maren suggested.

class OnDemandWorkorderWorkflow < Workflow

belongs_to :workorder

attr_accessible :type, :state, :workorder_id


require
"#{Rails.root}/lib/clients/#{CUSTOMER}/workflows/#{FILE_REFERENCE}_on_demand_workorder_workflow"

end


required file looks like this:

class OnDemandWorkorderWorkflow < Workflow

state_machine :state, :initial => :new do
.......
# lots of events and transitions
.......
end
