How to force load active record (Ruby) at model level?

Question

We would like to get our Post model to load all comments.

Right now, we must specify the desired load in find (: all), as shown below:

Post.all(:include => [ :comment ]) 

Is there a way to make loading load by default at the Post model level, instead of doing it in every find? Something like below:

 class Post < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :comments, :include <all comments> # eager load?? 

Answer 1

It looks like you will want to configure your default_scope for this.
