File this under mild pedantry, but it's been bugging me. Assume I want
to store different kinds of fruit in an STI table. My approach works,
but I end up referring to "fruit_bases" throughout my code where I'd
really prefer just "fruits".
What I've got is something like:
=============
# File: db/schema.rb
create_table "fruit_bases" do |t|
t.string "type"
t.id "basket_id"
end
# File: app/models/fruit.rb
module Fruit
def self.table_name_prefix
'fruit_'
end
require 'fruit/base'
end
# File: app/models/fruit/base.rb
module Fruit
class Base < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :basket
# code common to all fruit
end
end
# File: app/models/fruit/apple.rb
module Fruit
class Apple < Base
# apple specific code
end
end
# File: app/models/basket.rb
class Basket < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :fruit_bases
end
=============
Instinct tells me that my table should be named simply "fruits", and
that a Basket has_many :fruits, not :fruit_bases.
What's the rails-y way to accomplish that?
