Hi there,
how can I retrieve a list of associations for a given Active Record?
I mean, having:
class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :bar
has_one :baz
belongs_to :gosh
belongs_to :gulp
end
get lists of all has_one associations, one for belongs_to
associations, etc? (or a list with every association, if possible
distinguishing the kind of assoc.).
On documentation i found that has_one adds some methods (.bar, .bar=,
build_bar etc) to Foo, but actually doing Foo.column_names or
foo.attribute_names doesn't give me any of the above fields (if none
has been built, it seems).
I need to give user the ability to specify one of these associations,
but without hard-coding, so i need to retrieve such lists for each
ActiveRecord.
Thanks
