Overview

Active Record Association Collection

CollectionAssociation is an abstract class that provides common stuff to ease the implementation of association proxies that represent collections. See the class hierarchy in AssociationProxy.

You need to be careful with assumptions regarding the target: The proxy does not fetch records from the database until it needs them, but new ones created with build are added to the target. So, the target may be non-empty and still lack children waiting to be read from the database. If you look directly to the database you cannot assume that’s the entire collection because new records may have been added to the target, etc.

If you need to work on all current children, new and existing records, load_target and the loaded flag are your friends.

  end
end

#concat(*records) ⇒ Object

Add records to this association. Returns self so method calls may be chained. Since << flattens its argument list and inserts each record, push and concat behave identically.

end

#count(column_name = nil, count_options = {}) ⇒ Object

Count all records using SQL. If the :counter_sql or :finder_sql option is set for the association, it will be used for the query. Otherwise, construct options and pass them with scope to the target class’s count.

#delete(*records) ⇒ Object

Removes records from this association calling before_remove and after_remove callbacks.

This method is abstract in the sense that delete_records has to be provided by descendants. Note this method does not imply the records are actually removed from the database, that depends precisely on delete_records. They are in any case removed from the collection.

Note that this method will always remove records from the database ignoring the :dependent option.

#length ⇒ Object

Returns the size of the collection calling size on the target.

If the collection has been already loaded length and size are equivalent. If not and you are going to need the records anyway this method will take one less query. Otherwise size is more efficient.

#size ⇒ Object

Returns the size of the collection by executing a SELECT COUNT(*) query if the collection hasn’t been loaded, and calling collection.size if it has.

If the collection has been already loaded size and length are equivalent. If not and you are going to need the records anyway length will take one less query. Otherwise size is more efficient.

This method is abstract in the sense that it relies on count_records, which is a method descendants have to provide.
