Right now I am manually finding which all associated models need to be deleted when a model is deleted and doing it manually in each model which of course is a not a good practice. How do I do it? I don't want to use a gem, I want to write logic in my own hands. The place to start is `reflect_on_all_associations`: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Reflection/ClassMethods.html#method-i-reflect_on_all_associations This will give you all the associations defined for the model. You can then request the option you're interested in thus: ``` klass.reflect_on_all_associations do |reflection| if reflection.options[:dependent] # do something with it end end ``` --Matt Jones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Ruby on Rails: Talk group.

Hi Aravind, I am not sure if I understood your question correctly but I will give a try. I think you want to delete all associated records with another type of the Model. class Body has_many: boobs, dependent: :destroy end In this instance destroy parameter is responsible for generating/using code that removes all dependent boob if the body instance is destroyed. Did I get you right? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Ruby on Rails: Talk group.
