Instance Attribute Details

#collectionObject (readonly) Also known as: collection?

Returns whether or not this association reflection is for a collection association. Returns true if the macro is either has_many or has_and_belongs_to_many, false otherwise.

#conditionsObject

An array of arrays of conditions. Each item in the outside array corresponds to a reflection in the #chain. The inside arrays are simply conditions (and each condition may itself be a hash, array, arel predicate, etc…)

  if inverse?

  end
end

#klassObject

Returns the target association’s class.

class Author < DatastaxRails::Base
  has_many :books
end

Author.reflect_on_association(:books).klass
# => Book

Note: Do not call klass.new or klass.create to instantiate a new association object. Use build_association or create_association instead. This allows plugins to hook into association object creation.

#validate?Boolean

Returns whether or not the association should be validated as part of the parent’s validation.

Unless you explicitly disable validation with :validate => false, validation will take place when:

  • you explicitly enable validation; :validate => true

  • you use autosave; :autosave => true

  • the association is a has_many association

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def validate?
  !options[:validate].nil? ? options[:validate] : (options[:autosave] == true || macro == :has_many)
