I was thinking of implementing a way to use custom method names for dependent has_many Associations. This way I wouldn't have to use workarounds like rewriting destroy methods, or stuffing code handling other models into methods for before_destroy callbacks.
class Thing < ApplicationRecord belongs_to :owner, class_name: 'User' def reset_owner # set owner to another user based on settings end end class User < ApplicationRecord has_many :things, dependent: :reset_owner end I don't think other kinds of Associations would need to support this.
