Instance Method Details

#create_necessary_parents(parents_we_already_have) ⇒ Object

This returns a hash of the parent models created, so that they can be easily merged into a model attribute hash. For example, if a school parent model was created for a student model, then it would be returned like so:

{ :school => the_school_model }
