So, everything is moving to "stonean.com":http://stonean.com where I'm giving "Redmine":http://redmine.org a shot a running everything for me. I'll be posting release announcements to the news feed for each project and keeping the docs up-to-date. Hopefully this will be better for everyone. -Thanks for your interest in Classy Inheritance,<br/> --andy +h2. Quick links +"Wiki":http://stonean.com/wiki/classy-inheritance -h2. What +"Forum":http://stonean.com/projects/classy-inheritance/boards -For now, Classy Inheritance adds a depends_on class method to your ActiveRecord model so that you can define requisite objects. -More functionality coming for optional relationships. - -You can define the relationship to be polymorphic: -<pre> -class Picture < ActiveRecord::Base - depends_on :image, :attrs => [:filename, :height, :width], :as => "imageable" -end -</pre> - -This will look for "imageable_type" and "imageable_id" on the images table add set them accordingly. - -Or you can define a standard belongs_to relationship: -<pre> -class User < ActiveRecord::Base - depends_on :profile, :attrs => [:first_name, :last_name, :email] -end -</pre> - -h3. What does it do for me? - -Well, for starters you get pass-through methods added to your model. So, in the above User example you would get the following: - -<pre> - @user.first_name - @user.last_name - @user.email - @user.first_name= - @user.last_name= - @user.email= -</pre> - -This means you can use these attributes on your form and in your controller instead of having to worry about creating/updating a separate Profile model. - -For the above example, you'll also get a "find_with_profile" class method that will do the :include => :profile addition to your find call for you. - -h2.
