+    #
+    # Nested attributes allow you to save attributes on associated records
+    # through the parent. By default nested attribute updating is turned off
+    # and you can enable it using the accepts_nested_attributes_for class
+    # method. When you enable nested attributes an attribute writer is
+    # defined on the model.
+    #
+    # The attribute writer is named after the association, which means that
+    # in the following example, two new methods are added to your model:
+    #
+    # <tt>author_attributes=(attributes)</tt> and
+    # <tt>pages_attributes=(attributes)</tt>.
+    #
+    #   class Book < ActiveEntity::Base
+    #     has_one :author
+    #     has_many :pages
+    #
+    #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :author, :pages
+    #   end
+    #
+    # Note that the <tt>:autosave</tt> option is automatically enabled on every
+    # association that accepts_nested_attributes_for is used for.
+    #
+    # === One-to-one
+    #
+    # Consider a Member model that has one Avatar:
+    #
+    #   class Member < ActiveEntity::Base
+    #     has_one :avatar
+    #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :avatar
+    #   end
+    #
+    # Enabling nested attributes on a one-to-one association allows you to
+    # create the member and avatar in one go:
+    #
+    #   params = { member: { name: 'Jack', avatar_attributes: { icon: 'smiling' } } }
+    #   member = Member.create(params[:member])
+    #   member.avatar.id # => 2
+    #   member.avatar.icon # => 'smiling'
+    #
+    # It also allows you to update the avatar through the member:
+    #
+    #   params = { member: { avatar_attributes: { id: '2', icon: 'sad' } } }
+    #   member.update params[:member]
+    #   member.avatar.icon # => 'sad'
+    #
+    # If you want to update the current avatar without providing the id, you must add <tt>:update_only</tt> option.
+    #
+    #   class Member < ActiveEntity::Base
+    #     has_one :avatar
+    #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :avatar, update_only: true
+    #   end
+    #
+    #   params = { member: { avatar_attributes: { icon: 'sad' } } }
+    #   member.update params[:member]
+    #   member.avatar.id # => 2
+    #   member.avatar.icon # => 'sad'
+    #
+    # By default you will only be able to set and update attributes on the
+    # associated model. If you want to destroy the associated model through the
+    # attributes hash, you have to enable it first using the
+    # <tt>:allow_destroy</tt> option.
+    #
+    #   class Member < ActiveEntity::Base
+    #     has_one :avatar
+    #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :avatar, allow_destroy: true
+    #   end
+    #
+    # Now, when you add the <tt>_destroy</tt> key to the attributes hash, with a
+    # value that evaluates to +true+, you will destroy the associated model:
+    #
+    #   member.avatar_attributes = { id: '2', _destroy: '1' }
+    #   member.avatar.marked_for_destruction? # => true
+    #   member.save
+    #   member.reload.avatar # => nil
+    #
+    # Note that the model will _not_ be destroyed until the parent is saved.
+    #
+    # Also note that the model will not be destroyed unless you also specify
+    # its id in the updated hash.
+    #
+    # === One-to-many
+    #
+    # Consider a member that has a number of posts:
+    #
+    #   class Member < ActiveEntity::Base
+    #     has_many :posts
+    #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts
+    #   end
+    #
+    # You can now set or update attributes on the associated posts through
+    # an attribute hash for a member: include the key +:posts_attributes+
+    # with an array of hashes of post attributes as a value.
+    #
+    # For each hash that does _not_ have an <tt>id</tt> key a new record will
+    # be instantiated, unless the hash also contains a <tt>_destroy</tt> key
+    # that evaluates to +true+.
+    #
+    #   params = { member: {
+    #     name: 'joe', posts_attributes: [
+    #       { title: 'Kari, the awesome Ruby documentation browser!' },
+    #       { title: 'The egalitarian assumption of the modern citizen' },
+    #       { title: '', _destroy: '1' } # this will be ignored
+    #     ]
+    #   }}
+    #
+    #   member = Member.create(params[:member])
+    #   member.posts.length # => 2
+    #   member.posts.first.title # => 'Kari, the awesome Ruby documentation browser!'
+    #   member.posts.second.title # => 'The egalitarian assumption of the modern citizen'
+    #
+    # You may also set a +:reject_if+ proc to silently ignore any new record
+    # hashes if they fail to pass your criteria. For example, the previous
+    # example could be rewritten as:
+    #
+    #   class Member < ActiveEntity::Base
+    #     has_many :posts
+    #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts, reject_if: proc { |attributes| attributes['title'].blank? }
+    #   end
+    #
+    #   params = { member: {
+    #     name: 'joe', posts_attributes: [
+    #       { title: 'Kari, the awesome Ruby documentation browser!' },
+    #       { title: 'The egalitarian assumption of the modern citizen' },
+    #       { title: '' } # this will be ignored because of the :reject_if proc
+    #     ]
+    #   }}
+    #
+    #   member = Member.create(params[:member])
+    #   member.posts.length # => 2
+    #   member.posts.first.title # => 'Kari, the awesome Ruby documentation browser!'
+    #   member.posts.second.title # => 'The egalitarian assumption of the modern citizen'
+    #
+    # Alternatively, +:reject_if+ also accepts a symbol for using methods:
+    #
+    #   class Member < ActiveEntity::Base
+    #     has_many :posts
+    #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts, reject_if: :new_record?
+    #   end
+    #
+    #   class Member < ActiveEntity::Base
+    #     has_many :posts
+    #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts, reject_if: :reject_posts
+    #
+    #     def reject_posts(attributes)
+    #       attributes['title'].blank?
+    #     end
+    #   end
+    #
+    # If the hash contains an <tt>id</tt> key that matches an already
+    # associated record, the matching record will be modified:
+    #
+    #   member.attributes = {
+    #     name: 'Joe',
+    #     posts_attributes: [
+    #       { id: 1, title: '[UPDATED] An, as of yet, undisclosed awesome Ruby documentation browser!' },
+    #       { id: 2, title: '[UPDATED] other post' }
+    #     ]
+    #   }
+    #
+    #   member.posts.first.title # => '[UPDATED] An, as of yet, undisclosed awesome Ruby documentation browser!'
+    #   member.posts.second.title # => '[UPDATED] other post'
+    #
+    # However, the above applies if the parent model is being updated as well.
+    # For example, If you wanted to create a +member+ named _joe_ and wanted to
+    # update the +posts+ at the same time, that would give an
+    # ActiveEntity::RecordNotFound error.
+    #
+    # By default the associated records are protected from being destroyed. If
+    # you want to destroy any of the associated records through the attributes
+    # hash, you have to enable it first using the <tt>:allow_destroy</tt>
+    # option. This will allow you to also use the <tt>_destroy</tt> key to
+    # destroy existing records:
+    #
+    #   class Member < ActiveEntity::Base
+    #     has_many :posts
+    #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts, allow_destroy: true
+    #   end
+    #
+    #   params = { member: {
+    #     posts_attributes: [{ id: '2', _destroy: '1' }]
+    #   }}
+    #
+    #   member.attributes = params[:member]
+    #   member.posts.detect { |p| p.id == 2 }.marked_for_destruction? # => true
+    #   member.posts.length # => 2
+    #   member.save
+    #   member.reload.posts.length # => 1
+    #
+    # Nested attributes for an associated collection can also be passed in
+    # the form of a hash of hashes instead of an array of hashes:
+    #
+    #   Member.create(
+    #     name: 'joe',
+    #     posts_attributes: {
+    #       first:  { title: 'Foo' },
+    #       second: { title: 'Bar' }
+    #     }
+    #   )
+    #
+    # has the same effect as
+    #
+    #   Member.create(
+    #     name: 'joe',
+    #     posts_attributes: [
+    #       { title: 'Foo' },
+    #       { title: 'Bar' }
+    #     ]
+    #   )
+    #
+    # The keys of the hash which is the value for +:posts_attributes+ are
+    # ignored in this case.
+    # However, it is not allowed to use <tt>'id'</tt> or <tt>:id</tt> for one of
+    # such keys, otherwise the hash will be wrapped in an array and
+    # interpreted as an attribute hash for a single post.
+    #
+    # Passing attributes for an associated collection in the form of a hash
+    # of hashes can be used with hashes generated from HTTP/HTML parameters,
+    # where there may be no natural way to submit an array of hashes.
+    #
+    # === Saving
+    #
+    # All changes to models, including the destruction of those marked for
+    # destruction, are saved and destroyed automatically and atomically when
+    # the parent model is saved. This happens inside the transaction initiated
+    # by the parent's save method. See ActiveEntity::AutosaveAssociation.
+    #
+    # === Validating the presence of a parent model
+    #
+    # If you want to validate that a child record is associated with a parent
+    # record, you can use the +validates_presence_of+ method and the +:inverse_of+
+    # key as this example illustrates:
+    #
+    #   class Member < ActiveEntity::Base
+    #     has_many :posts, inverse_of: :member
+    #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts
+    #   end
+    #
+    #   class Post < ActiveEntity::Base
+    #     belongs_to :member, inverse_of: :posts
+    #     validates_presence_of :member
+    #   end
+    #
+    # Note that if you do not specify the +:inverse_of+ option, then
+    # Active Entity will try to automatically guess the inverse association
+    # based on heuristics.
+    #
+    # For one-to-one nested associations, if you build the new (in-memory)
+    # child object yourself before assignment, then this module will not
+    # overwrite it, e.g.:
+    #
+    #   class Member < ActiveEntity::Base
+    #     has_one :avatar
+    #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :avatar
+    #
+    #     def avatar
+    #       super || build_avatar(width: 200)
+    #     end
+    #   end
+    #
+    #   member = Member.new
+    #   member.avatar_attributes = {icon: 'sad'}
+    #   member.avatar.width # => 200
+    module ClassMethods

+
+      # Defines an attributes writer for the specified association(s).
+      #
+      # Supported options:
+      # [:allow_destroy]
+      #   If true, destroys any members from the attributes hash with a
+      #   <tt>_destroy</tt> key and a value that evaluates to +true+
+      #   (eg. 1, '1', true, or 'true'). This option is off by default.
+      # [:reject_if]
+      #   Allows you to specify a Proc or a Symbol pointing to a method
+      #   that checks whether a record should be built for a certain attribute
+      #   hash. The hash is passed to the supplied Proc or the method
+      #   and it should return either +true+ or +false+. When no +:reject_if+
+      #   is specified, a record will be built for all attribute hashes that
+      #   do not have a <tt>_destroy</tt> value that evaluates to true.
+      #   Passing <tt>:all_blank</tt> instead of a Proc will create a proc
+      #   that will reject a record where all the attributes are blank excluding
+      #   any value for +_destroy+.
+      # [:limit]
+      #   Allows you to specify the maximum number of associated records that
+      #   can be processed with the nested attributes. Limit also can be specified
+      #   as a Proc or a Symbol pointing to a method that should return a number.
+      #   If the size of the nested attributes array exceeds the specified limit,
+      #   NestedAttributes::TooManyRecords exception is raised. If omitted, any
+      #   number of associations can be processed.
+      #   Note that the +:limit+ option is only applicable to one-to-many
+      #   associations.
+      # [:update_only]
+      #   For a one-to-one association, this option allows you to specify how
+      #   nested attributes are going to be used when an associated record already
+      #   exists. In general, an existing record may either be updated with the
+      #   new set of attribute values or be replaced by a wholly new record
+      #   containing those values. By default the +:update_only+ option is +false+
+      #   and the nested attributes are used to update the existing record only
+      #   if they include the record's <tt>:id</tt> value. Otherwise a new
+      #   record will be instantiated and used to replace the existing one.
+      #   However if the +:update_only+ option is +true+, the nested attributes
+      #   are used to update the record's attributes always, regardless of
+      #   whether the <tt>:id</tt> is present. The option is ignored for collection
+      #   associations.
