Hello, My question is when ActiveRecord associations are actually made? To me, it doesn't seem like the relationship is made until of the objects is saved into the database. Let's say i have models like:
Library has_many :books Book belongs_to :Library If I have code such as: book = Book.new library = Library.new library.books << book it seems like library.books is empty UNTIL book is first saved. this causes strange problems for me if I am trying to validate that a book always belongs to a library, and a library has to have a least one book. Maybe I'm thinking about this the wrong way?
