Constructor Details

#initialize(association_name, document) ⇒ HasManyAssociation

Creates the new association by finding the attributes in the parent document with its name, and instantiating a new document for each one found. These will then be put in an internal array.

This then delegated all methods to the array class since this is essentially a proxy to an array itself.
