Module: ZendeskAPI::Associations

Included in:
Data
Defined in:
lib/zendesk_api/associations.rb

Overview

This module holds association method for resources. Associations can be loaded in three ways:

  • Commonly used resources are automatically side-loaded server side and sent along with their parent object.

  • Associated resource ids are sent and are then loaded one-by-one into the parent collection.

  • The association is represented with Rails’ nested association urls (such as tickets/:id/groups) and are loaded that way.
