NoLimits

An active record extension for active record 3 and 4. This gem makes has_many associations with limits and has_one associations prettier.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

  gem 'no_limits'

And then execute:

  $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

  $ gem install no_limits

Usage

Rather than using different method names for has_many and has_one associations, and rather than specifying a limit for those associations, the idea is to solely rely on the English language to figure out what kind of a parent association is needed by simply passing a number to a method called has.

Instead of the verbose

  has_many :associations, limit: 3

you can simply write

  has 3, :assocations

You can append any options as you normally would, like

  has 3, :assocations, dependent: :destroy, as: :watchable

That's it! It also works with has_one associations like so:

  has 1, :association

  4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
