Modify the default scope

[byhbt]

Problem:

Today I work with a model, which is defined default scope.
But i need to get the data which including the inactive status.

module SuperStore
  class StoreItem < ApplicationRecord
    # Enums
    enum status: [:inactive, :active], _suffix: true

    # Scopes
    default_scope { active_status.order(:type, updated_at: :desc) }
  end
end

Solution:

Override by adding this.

scope :with_inactive_status, -> { unscope(where: :status) }

Then use it as:

def set_resource
  @store_item = StoreItem.with_inactive_status.find(params[:id])
end

Lesson:

• Is the default scope good?

• We should not use unscoped, define a scope in model to make it clearer
