Timber App
Ruby Rails Associations
@PareidoliaX

Four Take Homes
1. Associations are not database relationships but
dependent on them.
2. There is always a belongs_to side of the association.
3. The table of the model of the belongs_to side of the
association holds the information about the
relationship.
4. belongs_to works in migrations and generators.

Timber Iteration 1
Requirements
4 Tracks Lumberjacks and Lumberjills
4 A Lumberjack or Lumberjill can choose on true love
4 A Lumberjack or Lumberjill's profile shows all their
admires

Todays Association:
belongs_to and
has_many

Based on the one to many
database relationship

LumberJack Migration
class CreateLumberjacks < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
create_table :lumberjacks do |t|
t.string :name
t.belongs_to :lumberjill, index: true
t.timestamps
end
end
end

LumberJill Migration
class CreateLumberjills < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
create_table :lumberjills do |t|
t.string :name
t.belongs_to :lumberjack, index: true
t.timestamps
end
end
end

LumberJill Model
class Lumberjill < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :lumberjack
has_many :lumberjacks
end

LumberJack Model
class Lumberjack < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :lumberjill
has_many :lumberjills
end

Limitations of this solution
+ Only one true love possible, can't handle complex relationships.
