Module: Daylight::ReflectionExt

Extended by:

ActiveSupport::Concern

Defined in:

lib/daylight/reflection_ext.rb

Overview

Extension to use the API namespace and version modules to lookup classes for a reflection. The benefit is to be able to define an association wihtout the module name or using the :class_name option.

Without the extension, we have to specify the ‘:class_name`:

class API::V1::Post < Daylight::API
   has_many :comments, class_name: 'api/v1/comment'
end

With the extension, it will be determined using the namespace and version modules

class API::V1::Post < Daylight::API
   belongs_to :blog
end

API::V1::Post.find(1).blog  #=>  #<API::V1::Blog:0x007ffa8a43f1e8 ...>

The ‘:class_name` option still can be specified for alternate behavior

class API::V1::Post < Daylight::API
   belongs_to :author, class_name: 'api/v1/user', foreign_key: 'created_by'
end
