Let's imagine an app with several models, and a particular polymorphic
association:
class Banana < ApplicationRecord
has_one :eater, as: :eatable
end
class Orange < ApplicationRecord
has_one :eater, as: :eatable
end
class Eater < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :eatable, polymorphic: true
end
When exposed to this codebase, one would often perform a lookup on the code
for usages of "as: :eatable" or ":as => :eatable" , etc, which can be a
pain.
If you're like me, you'd like to have some control over what exactly is
"eatable".
You can perhaps write something like this on "Eater" class:
validates :eatable_type, inclusion: {
in: %w[banana orange],
message: "you can't eat a %{value}!"
}
What about having this validator automatically generated, with a simpler
syntax? given the following code?
class Eater < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :eatable, polymorphic: {
as: %w[banana orange]
message: "you can't eat a %{value}!"
}
end
The "as" key can be something else,... can't think of a better name now.
Also, we could perhaps allow a more compact version:
belongs_to :eatable, polymorphic: %w[banana orange]
WDYT?
