Condition based on current model - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have here a model helper named GmailGcalendar
I have multiple actions in 2 models namely gmail.rb and pivotaltracker.rb
They do the same functions, but the only difference is the connection url.
In my lib helper:
def connection_url
if API::Pivotaltracker
'https://www.pivotaltracker.com'
else
'https://accounts.google.com'
end
end
def my_connections
connection_name ||= Faraday.new(:url => "#{connection_url}" , ssl: {verify: false}) do |faraday|
faraday.request :url_encoded # form-encode POST params
faraday.response :logger # log requests to STDOUT
faraday.adapter Faraday.default_adapter # make requests with Net::HTTP
end
puts "####"
puts connection_url
end
And in my gmail.rb
def connection
my_connections
end
As well as my pivotaltracker.rb
def connection
my_connections
end
Now they have different connection url.
Pivotal goes to https://www.pivotaltracker.com
Gmail goes to https://accounts.google.com
But I seem to can't make the condition work in connection_url action.
Any workarounds will be appreciated.
EDIT:
I am using the connection_url here: ( in the Faraday block )
def my_connections
connection_name ||= Faraday.new(:url => "#{connection_url}" , ssl: {verify: false}) do |faraday|
faraday.request :url_encoded # form-encode POST params
faraday.response :logger # log requests to STDOUT
faraday.adapter Faraday.default_adapter # make requests with Net::HTTP
end
puts "####"
puts connection_url
end

Answer 1

Your can rewrite your lib helper as class:
class Connection
def initialize(url)
#url = url
end
def setup
connection_name ||= Faraday.new(:url => "#url" , ssl: {verify: false}) do |faraday|
faraday.request :url_encoded # form-encode POST params
faraday.response :logger # log requests to STDOUT
faraday.adapter Faraday.default_adapter # make requests with Net::HTTP
end
end
end
Now in the model you can initialize this class with the url you want, for example:
def connection
Connection.new("https://accounts.google.com").setup
end
I didn't test this code, but it should work.
