scope: attached to the model. Can be used in any part of rails or can be included with any association

ex. ` scope: completed, lambda { where(completed: true) }
      # @list.items.completed.alphabetically
      scope: completed. 


collection proxy: Finders
- `class Item < AR::Base `
- inherits from active record
- generates sql 
- ex. can use Item.all (select * from items;) -> []
- Item.where(completed: true) (ruby way to generate SQL)
  * Select all from Item where complete = 'true' -> []

- @items = Item.all

  - if current_user
      @items = @items.where ({ user_id => current_user.id }) => #to_a IR #each (ways to loop) 

ex. 2 ` scope : created_before, lambda { |date| where("created_at > ?", date)}
      end

* scope :search, -> { |query|
  search_terms = query.split(" ")
  search_terms = search_terms.map { |term| term.downcase }

  like_clause = search_terms.map { |term| "name LIKE('%(term)%')" }

  where(where_clauses.join(" OR "))


3. Delegates: allow you to access method on associated object in model
  ex. @user = User.find(1)
       if @user.linkedin_token.profile

# 
delegate :linkedin_profile, :to => :linkedin_token, :allow_nil => true
