How to re-run method in model rails

Question

Im using the geocoder gem. I am looking up zipcodes for addresses.

I have old addresses that I need to run the :reverse_geocode method on, but cannot figure out how to re-run the method on older data. How would I go about doing this?

In other words I want to rerun :reverse_geocode on all addresses that do not have zipcode saved.

You mean, you want to run `reverse_geocode` on all the records that hasn't `zipcode` saved? — Marek Lipka, Jan 26 '15 at 15:17

Assuming you're working on Address model:

Address.where(zipcode: nil).find_each(&:reverse_geocode)

Note that I used find_each instead of each because it improves efficiency if you have many records.
