#association_primary_key(klass = nil) ⇒ Object

We want to use the klass from this reflection, rather than just delegate straight to the source_reflection, because the source_reflection may be polymorphic. We still need to respect the source_reflection’s :primary_key option, though.

#clear_association_scope_cacheObject

This is for clearing cache on the reflection. Useful for tests that need to compare SQL queries on associations.

end

#collect_join_chainObject

Returns an array of reflections which are involved in this association. Each item in the array corresponds to a table which will be part of the query for this association.

The chain is built by recursively calling #chain on the source reflection and the through reflection. The base case for the recursion is a normal association, which just returns

self

as its #chain.

  has_many :taggings
  has_many :tags, through: :taggings
