ruby on rails - How do I put API data into a model? -

-

currently using last.fm api return concert data (returns hash) in controller, , in view cycling through hash return data want. want concert data become more dynamic , put model. how do this? should in controller or somehow in model?

here example of code

# app/controllers/events_controller.rb class eventscontroller < applicationcontroller   def index     @events = @lastfm.geo.get_events("chicago",0,5)     respond_with @events   end end  # app/views/events/index.html.erb <% @events.each |event| %>   headliner: <%= event["artists"]["headliner"] %> <% end %>

in example would want , event model headliner parameter, , put 5 of events model.

i believe idea have model. there several advantages can see

1 - access data oo way other objects

2 - if have business logics (ex: calculations) in model out messing view

3 - clean , dry

example model class (this not working model, give u idea :))

class event   attr_accessor :headliner     def self.event_list(limit = 5)     lastfm.geo.get_events("chicago",0,limit)    end  end

so can clean-up view 

<% event.each |event| %>    headliner: event.headliner <% end %>

i think u point :)

how copy observablecollection item observablecollection without reference of first collection? here observablecollection item value changes affecting both collections. code private observablecollection<ratemodel> _allmetalrate = new observablecollection<ratemodel>(); private observablecollection<ratemodel> _metalrateondate = new observablecollection<ratemodel>(); public observablecollection<ratemodel> allmetalrate { { return this._allmetalrate; } set { this._allmetalrate = value; notifypropertychanged("metalrate"); } } public observablecollection<ratemodel> metalrateondate { { return this._metalrateondate; } set { this._metalrateondate = value; notifypropertychanged("metalrateondate"); } } foreach (var item in metalrateondate) allmetalrate.add(item); what causing , how can solve it? you need clone object referenced item before it's a...

All overlapping substrings matching a java regex -

-
is there api method returns (possibly overlapping) substrings match regular expression? for example, have text string: string t = 04/31 412-555-1235; , , have pattern: pattern p = new pattern("\\d\\d+"); matches strings of 2 or more characters. the matches are: 04, 31, 412, 555, 1235. how overlapping matches? i want code return: 04, 31, 41, 412, 12, 55, 555, 55, 12, 123, 1235, 23, 235, 35. theoretically should possible -- there obvious o(n^2) algorithm enumerates , checks substrings against pattern. edit rather enumerating substrings, safer use region(int start, int end) method in matcher . checking pattern against separate, extracted substring might change result of match (e.g. if there non-capturing group or word boundary check @ start/end of pattern). edit 2 actually, it's unclear whether region() expect zero-width matches. specification vague, , experiments yield disappointing results. for example: string line = "xx90xx"; strin...
