Instance Method Details

#has_one(association_name, options = {}) ⇒ Object

has_one defines a method on the parent which wraps around the superclass’s implementation. In most cases this will end up at ContentfulModel::Base#method_missing and look at the fields on a content object. We wrap around it like this so we can specify a class_name option to call a different method from the association name. class Foo

has_one :special_bar, class_name: "Bar"

end

Parameters:

  • association_name (Symbol) —

    the name of the association. In this case Foo.special_bar.

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    a hash, the only key of which is important is class_name.
