Overview

Helper methods for polymorphic annotators. Extends annotators so that global_id strings can be used as attributes referencing the polymorphic object.

To implement:

include Shared::PolymorphicAnnotator
polymorphic_annotates('belongs_to_name', 'foreign_key')

The foreign_key argument is optional, and only necessary when it can’t be derived from the belongs_to_name.

Implementing concerns, for example Shared::Taggable, should push foreign keys, like:

Tag.related_foreign_keys.push self.name.foreign_key

Instance Method Details

#annotated_object_is_persisted? ⇒ Boolean (private)

Since we can’t FK on polymorphics we use this to test that the annotated_object actually is present in the database.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
