Overview

An object of this class is used as a proxy for the authenticates_many relationship. It basically allows you to “save” scope details and call them on an object, which allows you to do the following:

@account.user_sessions.new
@account.user_sessions.find
# ... etc

You can call all of the class level methods off of an object with a saved scope, so that calling the above methods scopes the user sessions down to that specific account. To implement this via ActiveRecord do something like:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  authenticates_many :user_sessions
end

Constructor Details

#initialize(klass, find_options, id) ⇒ Association

  • id: Usually ‘nil`, but if the `scope_cookies` option is used, then `id` is a string like “company_123”. It may seem strange to refer to such a string as an “id”, but the naming is intentional, and is derived from `Authlogic::Session::Id`.
