Foreign key constraints, unique indexes, etc... can really help out when your writing spaghetti code. Does the community still find these useful when working in an...

Apparently you can render ERB , but I don't see any place to do the same with haml. Is it possible or will I just have to live with using the plain rails routing if I want to continue using haml? Thanks! ...

I'd like that form to behave as any other form would (it's a basic New Active Record) form, nothing fancy.

I have a many-to-many model, following the example in this great railscast My model links authors to each other. I'd like to validate that an author cannot friend himself. I know I can handle this at the UI level, but I'd love to have a validation in place to prevent a bug in the UI from allowing it. I've tried validates_exclusion_of, b...
