+ Has_many_polymorphs
2
+
3
+ An ActiveRecord plugin for self-referential and double-sided polymorphic associations.
4
+
5
+ == License
6
+
7
+ Copyright 2006-2008 Cloudburst, LLC. Licensed under the AFL 3. See the included LICENSE file.
8
+
9
+ The public certificate for the gem is here[http://blog.evanweaver.com/files/evan_weaver-original-public_cert.pem].
10
+
11
+ If you use this software, please {make a donation}[http://blog.evanweaver.com/donate/], or {recommend Evan}[http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/7739-evan-weaver] at Working with Rails.
12
+
13
+ == Description
14
+
15
+ 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.
18
+
19
+ == Features
20
+
21
+ * self-references
22
+ * double-sided polymorphism
23
+ * efficient database usage
24
+ * STI support
25
+ * namespace support
26
+ * automatic individual and reverse associations
27
+
28
+ 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
+
34
+ = 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
+
84
+ == 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
+ See ActiveRecord::Associations::PolymorphicAssociation for more helper method details.
111
+
112
+ = Extras
113
+
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

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.
