Rails has_many with dynamic conditions

Rails 4+ way (Thanks to Thomas who answered this below):

has_many :faixas_aliquotas, -> (object) { 
           where("regra_fiscal = ?", object.regra_fiscal)
         },
         :class_name => 'Fiscal::FaixaAliquota'

Rails 3.1+ way:

has_many :faixas_aliquotas, :class_name => 'Fiscal::FaixaAliquota',
         :conditions => proc { "regra_fiscal = #{self.regra_fiscal}" }

Rails 3 and below:

has_many :faixas_aliquotas, :class_name => 'Fiscal::FaixaAliquota',
         :conditions => ['regra_fiscal = #{self.regra_fiscal}']

No. This is not a mistake. The conditions are specified in single quotes and still contains the code #{self.regra_fiscal}. When the conditions clause is evaulated, the regra_fiscal method will be called on the object of self (whatever the class is). Putting double quotes will not work.

I hope this is what you are looking for.

There is another kind of solution. However, this wont be the default scope.

has_many :faixas_aliquotas, :class_name => 'Fiscal::FaixaAliquota' do 
  def filter(situacao_fiscal)
    find(:all, :conditions => {:regra_fiscal => situacao_fiscal.regra_fiscal})
  end
end

This way you would be able to do

situacao_fiscal.faixas_aliquotas.filter(situacao_fiscal)

I am not sure if this is elegant and something that would solve your problem. There may be better ways of doing this.

Rails 4+ way:

has_many :faixas_aliquotas, 
         -> (object){ where("regra_fiscal = ?", object.regra_fiscal)},  
         :class_name => 'Fiscal::FaixaAliquota'
