Module: ChronoModel::Patches::Association

Defined in:
lib/chrono_model/patches/association.rb

Overview

Patches ActiveRecord::Associations::Association to add support for temporal associations.

Each record fetched from the as_of scope on the owner class will have an additional “as_of_time” field yielding the UTC time of the request, then the as_of scope is called on either this association’s class or on the join model’s (:through association) one.
