# Associations are a set of macro-like class methods for tying objects together through foreign keys. They express relationships like
# "Project has one Project Manager" or "Project belongs to a Portfolio". Each macro adds a number of methods to the class which are
# specialized according to the collection or association symbol and the options hash. It works much the same way as Ruby's own attr*
# methods. Example:
#
# class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
# belongs_to :portfolio
# has_one :project_manager
# has_many :milestones
# has_and_belongs_to_many :categories
# end
#
# The project class now has the following methods (and more) to ease the traversal and manipulation of its relationships:
# * Project#portfolio, Project#portfolio=(portfolio), Project#portfolio.nil?
# * Project#project_manager, Project#project_manager=(project_manager), Project#project_manager.nil?,
# * Project#milestones.empty?, Project#milestones.size, Project#milestones, Project#milestones<<(milestone),
# Project#milestones.delete(milestone), Project#milestones.find(milestone_id), Project#milestones.find_all(conditions),
# Project#milestones.build, Project#milestones.create
# * Project#categories.empty?, Project#categories.size, Project#categories, Project#categories<<(category1),
# Project#categories.delete(category1)
#
# == Example
#
# link:files/examples/associations.png
#
# == Is it belongs_to or has_one?
#
# Both express a 1-1 relationship, the difference is mostly where to place the foreign key, which goes on the table for the class
# saying belongs_to. Example:
#
# class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_one :author
# end
#
# class Author < ActiveRecord::Base
# belongs_to :post
# end
#
# The tables for these classes could look something like:
#
# CREATE TABLE posts (
# id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
# title varchar default NULL,
# PRIMARY KEY (id)
# )
#
# CREATE TABLE authors (
# id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
# post_id int(11) default NULL,
# name varchar default NULL,
# PRIMARY KEY (id)
# )
#
# == Unsaved objects and associations
#
# You can manipulate objects and associations before they are saved to the database, but there is some special behaviour you should be
# aware of, mostly involving the saving of associated objects.
#
# === One-to-one associations
#
# * Assigning an object to a has_one association automatically saves that object and the object being replaced (if there is one), in
# order to update their primary keys - except if the parent object is unsaved (new_record? == true).
# * If either of these saves fail (due to one of the objects being invalid) the assignment statement returns false and the assignment
# is cancelled.
# * If you wish to assign an object to a has_one association without saving it, use the #association.build method (documented below).
# * Assigning an object to a belongs_to association does not save the object, since the foreign key field belongs on the parent. It does
# not save the parent either.
#
# === Collections
#
# * Adding an object to a collection (has_many or has_and_belongs_to_many) automatically saves that object, except if the parent object
# (the owner of the collection) is not yet stored in the database.
# * If saving any of the objects being added to a collection (via #push or similar) fails, then #push returns false.
# * You can add an object to a collection without automatically saving it by using the #collection.build method (documented below).
# * All unsaved (new_record? == true) members of the collection are automatically saved when the parent is saved.
#
# === Association callbacks
#
# Similiar to the normal callbacks that hook into the lifecycle of an Active Record object, you can also define callbacks that get
# trigged when you add an object to or removing an object from a association collection. Example:
#
# class Project
# has_and_belongs_to_many :developers, :after_add => :evaluate_velocity
#
# def evaluate_velocity(developer)
# ...
# end
# end
#
# It's possible to stack callbacks by passing them as an array. Example:
#
# class Project
# has_and_belongs_to_many :developers, :after_add => [:evaluate_velocity, Proc.new { |p, d| p.shipping_date = Time.now}]
# end
#
# Possible callbacks are: before_add, after_add, before_remove and after_remove.
#
# Should any of the before_add callbacks throw an exception, the object does not get added to the collection. Same with
# the before_remove callbacks, if an exception is thrown the object doesn't get removed.
#
# === Association extensions
#
# The proxy objects that controls the access to associations can be extended through anonymous modules. This is especially
# beneficial for adding new finders, creators, and other factory-type methods that are only used as part of this associatio.
# Example:
#
# class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_many :people do
# def find_or_create_by_name(name)
# first_name, *last_name = name.split
# last_name = last_name.join " "
#
# find_or_create_by_first_name_and_last_name(first_name, last_name)
# end
# end
# end
#
# person = Account.find(:first).people.find_or_create_by_name("David Heinemeier Hansson")
# person.first_name # => "David"
# person.last_name # => "Heinemeier Hansson"
#
# If you need to share the same extensions between many associations, you can use a named extension module. Example:
#
# module FindOrCreateByNameExtension
# def find_or_create_by_name(name)
# first_name, *last_name = name.split
# last_name = last_name.join " "
#
# find_or_create_by_first_name_and_last_name(first_name, last_name)
# end
# end
#
# class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_many :people, :extend => FindOrCreateByNameExtension
# end
#
# class Company < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_many :people, :extend => FindOrCreateByNameExtension
# end
#
# == Caching
#
# All of the methods are built on a simple caching principle that will keep the result of the last query around unless specifically
# instructed not to. The cache is even shared across methods to make it even cheaper to use the macro-added methods without
# worrying too much about performance at the first go. Example:
#
# project.milestones # fetches milestones from the database
# project.milestones.size # uses the milestone cache
# project.milestones.empty? # uses the milestone cache
# project.milestones(true).size # fetches milestones from the database
# project.milestones # uses the milestone cache
#
# == Eager loading of associations
#
# Eager loading is a way to find objects of a certain class and a number of named associations along with it in a single SQL call. This is
# one of the easiest ways of to prevent the dreaded 1+N problem in which fetching 100 posts that each needs to display their author
# triggers 101 database queries. Through the use of eager loading, the 101 queries can be reduced to 1. Example:
#
# class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
# belongs_to :author
# has_many :comments
# end
#
# Consider the following loop using the class above:
#
# for post in Post.find(:all)
# puts "Post: " + post.title
# puts "Written by: " + post.author.name
# puts "Last comment on: " + post.comments.first.created_on
# end
#
# To iterate over these one hundred posts, we'll generate 201 database queries. Let's first just optimize it for retrieving the author:
#
# for post in Post.find(:all, :include => :author)
#
# This references the name of the belongs_to association that also used the :author symbol, so the find will now weave in a join something
# like this: LEFT OUTER JOIN authors ON authors.id = posts.author_id. Doing so will cut down the number of queries from 201 to 101.
#
# We can improve upon the situation further by referencing both associations in the finder with:
#
# for post in Post.find(:all, :include => [ :author, :comments ])
#
# That'll add another join along the lines of: LEFT OUTER JOIN comments ON comments.post_id = posts.id. And we'll be down to 1 query.
# But that shouldn't fool you to think that you can pull out huge amounts of data with no performance penalty just because you've reduced
# the number of queries. The database still needs to send all the data to Active Record and it still needs to be processed. So it's no
# catch-all for performance problems, but it's a great way to cut down on the number of queries in a situation as the one described above.
#
# Please note that limited eager loading with has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many associations is not compatible with describing conditions
# on these eager tables. This will work:
#
# Post.find(:all, :include => :comments, :conditions => "posts.title = 'magic forest'", :limit => 2)
#
# ...but this will not (and an ArgumentError will be raised):
#
# Post.find(:all, :include => :comments, :conditions => "comments.body like 'Normal%'", :limit => 2)
#
# Also have in mind that since the eager loading is pulling from multiple tables, you'll have to disambiguate any column references
# in both conditions and orders. So :order => "posts.id DESC" will work while :order => "id DESC" will not. This may require that
# you alter the :order and :conditions on the association definitions themselves.
#
# It's currently not possible to use eager loading on multiple associations from the same table. Eager loading will also not pull
# additional attributes on join tables, so "rich associations" with has_and_belongs_to_many is not a good fit for eager loading.
#
# == Modules
#
# By default, associations will look for objects within the current module scope. Consider:
#
# module MyApplication
# module Business
# class Firm < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_many :clients
# end
#
# class Company < ActiveRecord::Base; end
# end
# end
#
# When Firm#clients is called, it'll in turn call MyApplication::Business::Company.find(firm.id). If you want to associate
# with a class in another module scope this can be done by specifying the complete class name, such as:
#
# module MyApplication
# module Business
# class Firm < ActiveRecord::Base; end
# end
#
# module Billing
# class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
# belongs_to :firm, :class_name => "MyApplication::Business::Firm"
# end
# end
# end
#
# == Type safety with ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch
#
# If you attempt to assign an object to an association that doesn't match the inferred or specified :class_name, you'll
# get a ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch.
#
# == Options
#
# All of the association macros can be specialized through options which makes more complex cases than the simple and guessable ones
# possible.
module ClassMethods
# Adds the following methods for retrieval and query of collections of associated objects.
# +collection+ is replaced with the symbol passed as the first argument, so
# has_many :clients would add among others clients.empty?.
# * collection(force_reload = false) - returns an array of all the associated objects.
# An empty array is returned if none are found.
# * collection<<(object, ...) - adds one or more objects to the collection by setting their foreign keys to the collection's primary key.
# * collection.delete(object, ...) - removes one or more objects from the collection by setting their foreign keys to NULL.
# This will also destroy the objects if they're declared as belongs_to and dependent on this model.
# * collection=objects - replaces the collections content by deleting and adding objects as appropriate.
# * collection_singular_ids=ids - replace the collection by the objects identified by the primary keys in +ids+
# * collection.clear - removes every object from the collection. This destroys the associated objects if they
# are :dependent, deletes them directly from the database if they are :exclusively_dependent,
# and sets their foreign keys to NULL otherwise.
# * collection.empty? - returns true if there are no associated objects.
# * collection.size - returns the number of associated objects.
# * collection.find - finds an associated object according to the same rules as Base.find.
# * collection.build(attributes = {}) - returns a new object of the collection type that has been instantiated
# with +attributes+ and linked to this object through a foreign key but has not yet been saved. *Note:* This only works if an
# associated object already exists, not if it's nil!
# * collection.create(attributes = {}) - returns a new object of the collection type that has been instantiated
# with +attributes+ and linked to this object through a foreign key and that has already been saved (if it passed the validation).
# *Note:* This only works if an associated object already exists, not if it's nil!
#
# Example: A Firm class declares has_many :clients, which will add:
# * Firm#clients (similar to Clients.find :all, :conditions => "firm_id = #{id}")
# * Firm#clients<<
# * Firm#clients.delete
# * Firm#clients=
# * Firm#client_ids=
# * Firm#clients.clear
# * Firm#clients.empty? (similar to firm.clients.size == 0)
# * Firm#clients.size (similar to Client.count "firm_id = #{id}")
# * Firm#clients.find (similar to Client.find(id, :conditions => "firm_id = #{id}"))
# * Firm#clients.build (similar to Client.new("firm_id" => id))
# * Firm#clients.create (similar to c = Client.new("firm_id" => id); c.save; c)
# The declaration can also include an options hash to specialize the behavior of the association.
#
# Options are:
# * :class_name - specify the class name of the association. Use it only if that name can't be inferred
# from the association name. So has_many :products will by default be linked to the +Product+ class, but
# if the real class name is +SpecialProduct+, you'll have to specify it with this option.
# * :conditions - specify the conditions that the associated objects must meet in order to be included as a "WHERE"
# sql fragment, such as "price > 5 AND name LIKE 'B%'".
# * :order - specify the order in which the associated objects are returned as a "ORDER BY" sql fragment,
# such as "last_name, first_name DESC"
# * :foreign_key - specify the foreign key used for the association. By default this is guessed to be the name
# of this class in lower-case and "_id" suffixed. So a +Person+ class that makes a has_many association will use "person_id"
# as the default foreign_key.
# * :dependent - if set to :destroy (or true) all the associated objects are destroyed
# alongside this object. Also accepts :nullify which will set the associated object's foreign key
# field to NULL.
# May not be set if :exclusively_dependent is also set.
# * :exclusively_dependent - if set to true all the associated object are deleted in one SQL statement without having their
# before_destroy callback run. This should only be used on associations that depend solely on this class and don't need to do any
# clean-up in before_destroy. The upside is that it's much faster, especially if there's a counter_cache involved.
# May not be set if :dependent is also set.
# * :finder_sql - specify a complete SQL statement to fetch the association. This is a good way to go for complex
# associations that depend on multiple tables. Note: When this option is used, +find_in_collection+ is _not_ added.
# * :counter_sql - specify a complete SQL statement to fetch the size of the association. If +:finder_sql+ is
# specified but +:counter_sql+, +:counter_sql+ will be generated by replacing SELECT ... FROM with SELECT COUNT(*) FROM.
# * :extend - specify a named module for extending the proxy, see "Association extensions".
# * :include - specify second-order associations that should be eager loaded when the collection is loaded.
#
# Option examples:
# has_many :comments, :order => "posted_on"
# has_many :comments, :include => :author
# has_many :people, :class_name => "Person", :conditions => "deleted = 0", :order => "name"
# has_many :tracks, :order => "position", :dependent => true
# has_many :subscribers, :class_name => "Person", :finder_sql =>
# 'SELECT DISTINCT people.* ' +
# 'FROM people p, post_subscriptions ps ' +

# result of clobbering the "id" fields in either of the other two tables.
#
# Adds the following methods for retrieval and query.
# +collection+ is replaced with the symbol passed as the first argument, so
# has_and_belongs_to_many :categories would add among others categories.empty?.
# * collection(force_reload = false) - returns an array of all the associated objects.
# An empty array is returned if none is found.
# * collection<<(object, ...) - adds one or more objects to the collection by creating associations in the join table
# (collection.push and collection.concat are aliases to this method).
# * collection.push_with_attributes(object, join_attributes) - adds one to the collection by creating an association in the join table that
# also holds the attributes from join_attributes (should be a hash with the column names as keys). This can be used to have additional
# attributes on the join, which will be injected into the associated objects when they are retrieved through the collection.
# (collection.concat_with_attributes is an alias to this method).
# * collection.delete(object, ...) - removes one or more objects from the collection by removing their associations from the join table.
# This does not destroy the objects.
# * collection=objects - replaces the collections content by deleting and adding objects as appropriate.
# * collection_singular_ids=ids - replace the collection by the objects identified by the primary keys in +ids+
# * collection.clear - removes every object from the collection. This does not destroy the objects.
# * collection.empty? - returns true if there are no associated objects.
# * collection.size - returns the number of associated objects.
# * collection.find(id) - finds an associated object responding to the +id+ and that
# meets the condition that it has to be associated with this object.
#
# Example: An Developer class declares has_and_belongs_to_many :projects, which will add:
# * Developer#projects
# * Developer#projects<<
# * Developer#projects.push_with_attributes
# * Developer#projects.delete
# * Developer#projects=
# * Developer#project_ids=
# * Developer#projects.clear
# * Developer#projects.empty?
# * Developer#projects.size
# * Developer#projects.find(id)
# The declaration may include an options hash to specialize the behavior of the association.
#
# Options are:
# * :class_name - specify the class name of the association. Use it only if that name can't be inferred
# from the association name. So has_and_belongs_to_many :projects will by default be linked to the
# +Project+ class, but if the real class name is +SuperProject+, you'll have to specify it with this option.
# * :join_table - specify the name of the join table if the default based on lexical order isn't what you want.
# WARNING: If you're overwriting the table name of either class, the table_name method MUST be declared underneath any
# has_and_belongs_to_many declaration in order to work.
# * :foreign_key - specify the foreign key used for the association. By default this is guessed to be the name
# of this class in lower-case and "_id" suffixed. So a +Person+ class that makes a has_and_belongs_to_many association
# will use "person_id" as the default foreign_key.
# * :association_foreign_key - specify the association foreign key used for the association. By default this is
# guessed to be the name of the associated class in lower-case and "_id" suffixed. So if the associated class is +Project+,
# the has_and_belongs_to_many association will use "project_id" as the default association foreign_key.
# * :conditions - specify the conditions that the associated object must meet in order to be included as a "WHERE"
# sql fragment, such as "authorized = 1".
# * :order - specify the order in which the associated objects are returned as a "ORDER BY" sql fragment, such as "last_name, first_name DESC"
# * :uniq - if set to true, duplicate associated objects will be ignored by accessors and query methods
# * :finder_sql - overwrite the default generated SQL used to fetch the association with a manual one
# * :delete_sql - overwrite the default generated SQL used to remove links between the associated
# classes with a manual one
# * :insert_sql - overwrite the default generated SQL used to add links between the associated classes
# with a manual one
# * :extend - anonymous module for extending the proxy, see "Association extensions".
# * :include - specify second-order associations that should be eager loaded when the collection is loaded.
#
# Option examples:

# has_and_belongs_to_many :categories, :join_table => "prods_cats"
