Class static variables in Ruby on Rails?

+1 vote
390 views

When setting the class static variables, These are shared across all the instances created.

Class A
 @@bool_var = true

 def get_bool_var
 @@bool_var
 end
end

All the instances will have this static variable, When through a controller, a user requests, Based on some logic, I set the value to false.

Is this class static variable be set to false in all the other requests from other users on a web application ?

Is find() a class method or instance method in Ruby on Rails?

 require 'active_record'

 class Order < ActiveRecord::Base
 end

 order = Order.find(1)

As per http://api.rubyonrails.org/ find() is an instance public method. So why can we call Order.find(1) here? Shouldn't it be Order.new.find(1)?
