Description
- Allows scoping of association definitions.
- Makes your code more DRY
- Works with belongs_to, has_one, has_many, has_and_belongs_to_many
Example
post.rb:
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
with_association_scope :order => "created_at DESC", :dependent => :delete_all do
# Both of these are ordered by created_at
has_many :posts
has_many :comments
# And yes we can override default behaviour
has_many :milestones, :order => "priority"
end
# Don't use created_at for this one
has_many :projects
end
