#searches_many(name, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Specifies a one-to-many association. The following methods for retrieval and query of collections of associated objects will be added:

collection

Returns an array of all the associated objects.

collection=objects

Replaces the collections content by deleting and adding objects as appropriate.

collection_params=objects

Support for nested assignment from a form

Options

:as

Specifies a polymorphic interface (See belongs_to).

:touch

Specify to update the owner when changed. Specify true to update the updated_at field. If you specify a symbol, that attribute will be updated with the current time in addition to the updated_at/on attribute.

:autosave

If true, always save the associated objects or destroy them if marked for destruction, when saving the parent object.

:counter_cache

Caches the number of belonging objects on the associate class. This requires that a column named #{table_name}_count (such as comments_count for a belonging Comment class) is used on the associate class (such as a Post class). You can also specify a custom counter cache column by providing a column name instead of a true/false value to this option (e.g., :counter_cache => :my_custom_counter.)

:class_name

Specify the class name of the association. Use it only if that name can’t be inferred from the association name. So has_one :manager will by default be linked to the Manager class, but if the real class name is Person, you’ll have to specify it with this option.

Example

Example: A Firm class declares has_many :clients, which will add:

  • Firm#clients

  • Firm#clients=(objects)

  • Firm#client_params=(params)
