This class should only be used # if this class contains the foreign key. # # Methods will be added for retrieval and query for a single associated object, for which # this object holds an id: # # [association(force_reload = false)] # Returns the associated object. +nil+ is returned if the foreign key is +nil+. # Throws a ActiveResource::ResourceNotFound exception if the foreign key is not +nil+ # and the resource is not found. # # (+association+ is replaced with the symbol passed as the first argument, so # belongs_to :post would add among others post.nil?. # # === Example # # A Comment class declaress belongs_to :post, which will add: # * Comment#post (similar to Post.find(post_id)) # The declaration can also include an options hash to specialize the behavior of the association. # # === Options # [:class_name] # Specify the class name for the association. Use it only if that name canÄt be inferred from association name. # So belongs_to :post will by default be linked to the Post class, but if the real class name is Article, # you'll have to specify it with whis option. # [:foreign_key] # Specify the foreign key used for the association. By default this is guessed to be the name # of the association with an "_id" suffix. So a class that defines a belongs_to :post # association will use "post_id" as the default :foreign_key. Similarly, # belongs_to :article, :class_name => "Post" will use a foreign key # of "article_id". # # Option examples: # belongs_to :customer, :class_name => 'User' # Creates a belongs_to association called customer which is represented through the User class. # # belongs_to :customer, :foreign_key => 'user_id' # Creates a belongs_to association called customer which would be resolved by the foreign_key user_id instead of customer_id # def belongs_to(name, options={}) Builder::BelongsTo.build(self, name, options) end # Defines the belongs_to association finder method def defines_belongs_to_finder_method(method_name, association_model, finder_key) ivar_name = :"@#{method_name}" if method_defined?(method_name) instance_variable_set(ivar_name, nil) remove_method(method_name) end define_method(method_name) do if instance_variable_defined?(ivar_name) instance_variable_get(ivar_name) elsif attributes.include?(method_name) attributes[method_name] else instance_variable_set(ivar_name, association_model.find(send(finder_key))) end end end def defines_has_many_finder_method(method_name, association_model) ivar_name = :"@#{method_name}" define_method(method_name) do if instance_variable_defined?(ivar_name) instance_variable_get(ivar_name) elsif attributes.include?(method_name) attributes[method_name] else instance_variable_set(ivar_name, association_model.find(:all, :params => {:"#{self.class.element_name}_id" => self.id})) end end end # Defines the has_one association def defines_has_one_finder_method(method_name, association_model) ivar_name = :"@#{method_name}" define_method(method_name) do if instance_variable_defined?(ivar_name) instance_variable_get(ivar_name) elsif attributes.include?(method_name) attributes[method_name] else instance_variable_set(ivar_name, association_model.find(:params => {:"#{self.class.element_name}_id" => self.id})) end end end end
