Class Method Details

.extended(model) ⇒ Object

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Initializes relationships hash for extended model class.

When model calls has n, has 1 or belongs_to, relationships are stored in that hash: keys are repository names and values are relationship sets.

Instance Method Details

#belongs_to(name, *args) ⇒ Association::Relationship

A shorthand, clear syntax for defining many-to-one resource relationships.

* belongs_to :user                              # many to one user
* belongs_to :friend, :model => 'User'          # many to one friend
* belongs_to :reference, :repository => :pubmed # association for repository other than default

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol)

    the name that the association will be referenced by

  • *args (Model, Hash)

    model and/or options hash

Returns:

  • (Association::Relationship)

    The association created should not be accessed directly

#has(cardinality, name, *args) ⇒ Association::Relationship

A shorthand, clear syntax for defining one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many resource relationships.

* has 1,    :friend                             # one friend
* has n,    :friends                            # many friends
* has 1..3, :friends                            # many friends (at least 1, at most 3)
* has 3,    :friends                            # many friends (exactly 3)
* has 1,    :friend,  'User'                    # one friend with the class User
* has 3,    :friends, :through => :friendships  # many friends through the friendships relationship

Parameters:

  • cardinality (Integer, Range, Infinity)

    cardinality that defines the association type and constraints

  • name (Symbol)

    the name that the association will be referenced by

  • *args (Model, Hash)

    model and/or options hash

Returns:

  • (Association::Relationship)

    the relationship that was created to reflect either a one-to-one, one-to-many or many-to-many relationship

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

    if the cardinality was not understood. Should be a Integer, Range or Infinity(n)
