Rails 4 Creating Scopes with Application Level Variables

Question

It's possible that I was never doing this properly, but it was working in Rails 3, and now that .scoped is gone it no longer works.

Essentially I have a field in the User table who's value is used to filter almost all other data in the app. In Rails 3 I was using current_user.field_name in the ApplicationController and created methods that used .scoped that were in turn used as before_filter in controllers.

Now that .scoped is gone I need a solution and it probably makes sense to figure out the right way to do this.

To summarize what I need to do:

I need to get a value based on a field for the currently logged in user and then filter a bunch of models based on that value. Is this possible and what is the proper way to do it?

created methods that used .scoped I'm not sure I'm clear on what you were doing; can you give an example of how you were using scoped originally? — Paul Richter

You can use

.where(nil)

as replacement
