|

Works that You create to carry a prominent Attribution Notice reasonably
|

|
+
calculated to inform recipients that You have modified the Original
|

87

+
expressly stated in the immediately preceding sentence, the Original
|
88
|
+
Work is provided under this License on an "AS IS" BASIS and WITHOUT
|
89
|
+
WARRANTY, either express or implied, including, without limitation, the
|
90
|
+
warranties of non-infringement, merchantability or fitness for a
|
91
|
+
particular purpose. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL
|
92
|
+
WORK IS WITH YOU. This DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY constitutes an essential
|
93

+
part of this License. No license to the Original Work is granted by this
|

|
+
License except under this disclaimer.

95

|
96
|
+
8) Limitation of Liability. Under no circumstances and under no legal
|
97
|
+
theory, whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
|
98
|
+
shall the Licensor be liable to anyone for any indirect, special,
|
99
|
+
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
|
100
|
+
result of this License or the use of the Original Work including,
|
101
|
+
without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage,
|
102
|
+
computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages
|
103
|
+
or losses. This limitation of liability shall not apply to the extent
|
104
|
+
applicable law prohibits such limitation.
|
105
|
+
|
106
|
+
9) Acceptance and Termination. If, at any time, You expressly assented
|
107
|
+
to this License, that assent indicates your clear and irrevocable
|
108
|
+
acceptance of this License and all of its terms and conditions. If You
|
109
|
+
distribute or communicate copies of the Original Work or a Derivative
|
110
|
+
Work, You must make a reasonable effort under the circumstances to
|
111
|
+
obtain the express assent of recipients to the terms of this License.
|
112
|
+
This License conditions your rights to undertake the activities listed
|
113
|
+
in Section 1, including your right to create Derivative Works based upon
|
114
|
+
the Original Work, and doing so without honoring these terms and
|
115
|
+
conditions is prohibited by copyright law and international treaty.
|
116
|
+
Nothing in this License is intended to affect copyright exceptions and
|
117
|
+
limitations (including "fair use" or "fair dealing"). This License shall
|
118
|
+
terminate immediately and You may no longer exercise any of the rights
|
119
|
+
granted to You by this License upon your failure to honor the conditions
|
120
|
+
in Section 1(c).
|
121
|
+
|
122
|
+
10) Termination for Patent Action. This License shall terminate
|
123
|
+
automatically and You may no longer exercise any of the rights granted
|
124
|
+
to You by this License as of the date You commence an action, including
|
125
|
+
a cross-claim or counterclaim, against Licensor or any licensee alleging
|
126
|
+
that the Original Work infringes a patent. This termination provision
|
127
|
+
shall not apply for an action alleging patent infringement by
|
128
|
+
combinations of the Original Work with other software or hardware.
|
129
|
+
|
130
|
+
11) Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law. Any action or suit relating
|
131
|
+
to this License may be brought only in the courts of a jurisdiction
|
132
|
+
wherein the Licensor resides or in which Licensor conducts its primary
|
133
|
+
business, and under the laws of that jurisdiction excluding its
|
134
|
+
conflict-of-law provisions. The application of the United Nations
|
135
|
+
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly
|
136
|
+
excluded. Any use of the Original Work outside the scope of this License
|
137
|
+
or after its termination shall be subject to the requirements and
|
138
|
+
penalties of copyright or patent law in the appropriate jurisdiction.
|
139
|
+
This section shall survive the termination of this License.
|
140
|
+
|
141
|
+
12) Attorneys' Fees. In any action to enforce the terms of this License
|
142
|
+
or seeking damages relating thereto, the prevailing party shall be
|
143
|
+
entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including, without
|
144
|
+
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection
|
145
|
+
with such action, including any appeal of such action. This section
|
146
|
+
shall survive the termination of this License.
|
147
|
+
|
148
|
+
13) Miscellaneous. If any provision of this License is held to be
|
149
|
+
unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
|
150
|
+
necessary to make it enforceable.
|
151
|

copy, distribute or communicate your modified version (the "Modified

use those names in the name of your Modified License; (ii) You must

This plugin lets you define self-referential and double-sided polymorphic associations in your models. It is an extension of <tt>has_many :through</tt>.
|
16
|
+
|
17
|
+
“Polymorphic” means an association can freely point to any of several unrelated model classes, instead of being tied to one particular class.

The plugin also includes a generator for a tagging system, a common use case (see below).
|
29
|
+
|
30
|
+
== Requirements
|
31
|
+
|
32
|
+
* Rails 2.2.2 or greater
|
33
|

= Usage
|
35
|
+
|
36
|
+
== Installation
|
37
|
+
|
38
|
+
To install the Rails plugin, run:
|
39
|
+
script/plugin install git://github.com/fauna/has_many_polymorphs.git
|
40
|
+
|
41
|
+
There's also a gem version. To install it instead, run:
|
42
|
+
sudo gem install has_many_polymorphs
|
43
|
+
|
44
|
+
If you are using the gem, make sure to add <tt>require 'has_many_polymorphs'</tt> to <tt>environment.rb</tt>, before Rails::Initializer block.
|
45
|
+
|
46
|
+
== Configuration
|
47
|
+
|
48
|
+
Setup the parent model as so:
|
49
|
+
|
50
|
+
class Kennel < ActiveRecord::Base
|
51
|
+
has_many_polymorphs :guests, :from => [:dogs, :cats, :birds]
|
52
|
+
end
|
53
|
+
|
54
|
+
The join model:
|
55
|
+
|
56
|
+
class GuestsKennel < ActiveRecord::Base
|
57
|
+
belongs_to :kennel
|
58
|
+
belongs_to :guest, :polymorphic => true
|
59
|
+
end
|
60
|
+
|
61
|
+
One of the child models:
|
62
|
+
|
63
|
+
class Dog < ActiveRecord::Base
|
64
|
+
# nothing
|
65
|
+
end
|
66
|
+
|
67
|
+
For your parent and child models, you don't need any special fields in your migration. For the join model (GuestsKennel), use a migration like so:
|
68
|
+
|
69
|
+
class CreateGuestsKennels < ActiveRecord::Migration
|
70
|
+
def self.up
|
71
|
+
create_table :guests_kennels do |t|
|
72
|
+
t.references :guest, :polymorphic => true
|
73
|
+
t.references :kennel
|
74
|
+
end
|
75
|
+
end
|
76
|
+
|
77
|
+
def self.down
|
78
|
+
drop_table :guests_kennels
|
79
|
+
end
|
80
|
+
end
|
81
|
+
|
82
|
+
See ActiveRecord::Associations::PolymorphicClassMethods for more configuration options.
|
83

+
== Helper methods example
|
85
|
+
|
86
|
+
>> k = Kennel.find(1)
|
87
|
+
#<Kennel id: 1, name: "Happy Paws">
|
88
|
+
>> k.guests.map(&:class)
|
89
|
+
[Dog, Cat, Cat, Bird]
|
90
|
+
|
91
|
+
>> k.guests.push(Cat.create); k.cats.size
|
92
|
+
3
|
93
|
+
>> k.guests << Cat.create; k.cats.size
|
94
|
+
4
|
95
|
+
>> k.guests.size
|
96
|
+
6
|
97
|
+
|
98
|
+
>> d = k.dogs.first
|
99
|
+
#<Dog id: 3, name: "Rover">
|
100
|
+
>> d.kennels
|
101
|
+
[#<Kennel id: 1, name: "Happy Paws">]
|
102
|
+
|
103
|
+
>> k.guests.delete(d); k.dogs.size
|
104
|
+
0
|
105
|
+
>> k.guests.size
|
106
|
+
5
|
107
|
+
|
108
|
+
Note that the parent method is always plural, even if there is only one parent (<tt>Dog#kennels</tt>, not <tt>Dog#kennel</tt>).
|
109
|
+
|
110
|

114
|
+
== Double-sided polymorphism
|
115
|
+
|
116
|
+
Double-sided relationships are defined on the join model:
|
117
|
+
|
118
|
+
class Devouring < ActiveRecord::Base
|
119
|
+
belongs_to :guest, :polymorphic => true
|
120
|
+
belongs_to :eaten, :polymorphic => true
|
121
|
+
|
122
|
+
acts_as_double_polymorphic_join(
|
123
|
+
:guests =>[:dogs, :cats],
|
124
|
+
:eatens => [:cats, :birds]
|
125
|
+
)
|
126
|
+
end
|
127
|
+
|
128
|
+
Now, dogs and cats can eat birds and cats. Birds can't eat anything (they aren't <tt>guests</tt>) and dogs can't be eaten by anything (since they aren't <tt>eatens</tt>). The keys stand for what the models are, not what they do.
|
129
|
+
|
130
|
+
In this case, each guest/eaten relationship is called a Devouring.
|
131
|
+
|
132
|
+
In your migration, you need to declare both sides as polymorphic:
|
133
|
+
|
134
|
+
class CreateDevourings < ActiveRecord::Migration
|
135
|
+
def self.up
|
136
|
+
create_table :devourings do |t|
|
137
|
+
t.references :guest, :polymorphic => true
|
138
|
+
t.references :eaten, :polymorphic => true
|
139
|
+
end
|
140
|
+
end
|
141
|
+
|
142
|
+
def self.down
|
143
|
+
drop_table :devourings
|
144
|
+
end
|
145
|
+
end
|
146
|
+
|
147
|
+
See ActiveRecord::Associations::PolymorphicClassMethods for more.
|
148
|
+
|
149
|
+
== Tagging generator
|
150
|
+
|
151
|
+
Has_many_polymorphs includes a tagging system generator. Run:
|
152
|
+
script/generate tagging Dog Cat [...MoreModels...]
|
153
|
+
|
154
|
+
This adds a migration and new Tag and Tagging models in <tt>app/models</tt>. It configures Tag with an appropriate <tt>has_many_polymorphs</tt> call against the models you list at the command line. It also adds the file <tt>lib/tagging_extensions.rb</tt> and <tt>requires</tt> it in <tt>environment.rb</tt>.
|
155
|
+
|
156
|
+
Tests will also be generated.
|
157
|
+
|
158
|
+
Once you've run the generator, you can tag records as follows:
|
159
|
+
|
160
|
+
>> d = Dog.create(:name => "Rover")
|
161
|
+
#<Dog id: 3, name: "Rover">
|
162
|
+
>> d.tag_list
|
163
|
+
""
|
164
|
+
>> d.tag_with "fierce loud"
|
165
|
+
#<Dog id: 3, name: "Rover">
|
166
|
+
>> d.tag_list
|
167
|
+
"fierce loud"
|
168
|
+
>> c = Cat.create(:name => "Chloe")
|
169
|
+
#<Cat id: 1, name: "Chloe">
|
170
|
+
>> c.tag_with "fierce cute"
|
171
|
+
#<Cat id: 1, name: "Chloe">
|
172
|
+
>> c.tag_list
|
173
|
+
"cute fierce"
|
174
|
+
>> Tag.find_by_name("fierce").taggables
|
175
|
+
[#<Cat id: 1, name: "Chloe">, #<Dog id: 3, name: "Rover">]
|
176
|
+
|
177
|
+
The generator accepts the optional flag <tt>--skip-migration</tt> to skip generating a migration (for example, if you are converting from <tt>acts_as_taggable</tt>). It also accepts the flag <tt>--self-referential</tt> if you want to be able to tag tags.
|
178
|
+
|
179
|
+
See ActiveRecord::Base::TaggingExtensions, Tag, and Tagging for more.
|
180
|
+
|
181
|
+
== Troubleshooting
|
182
|
+
|
183
|
+
Some debugging tools are available in <tt>lib/has_many_polymorphs/debugging_tools.rb</tt>.
|
184
|
+
|
185
|
+
If you are having trouble, think very carefully about how your model classes, key columns, and table names relate. You may have to explicitly specify options on your join model such as <tt>:class_name</tt>, <tt>:foreign_key</tt>, or <tt>:as</tt>. The included tests are a good place to look for examples.
|
186
|
+
|
187
|
+
Note that because of the way Rails reloads model classes, the plugin can sometimes bog down your development server. Set <tt>config.cache_classes = true</tt> in <tt>config/environments/development.rb</tt> to avoid this.
