Hello everyone,
Rails documentation mentions that 'inverse_of' associations don't work with
polymorphic associations. I searched quite a bit online but couldn't find a
good reasoning for why that is the case?
My use-case for using inverse_of is to be able to have nested models. And
the (child) model that I nested, was supposed to be the polymorphic model.
For example,
*BOOK*
has_many :pages,
-> { order(position: :asc) },
inverse_of: :book
accepts_nested_attributes_for :pages
*PAGE*
belongs_to :post, inverse_of: :content_sections
validates :post, presence: true
Now I am going to have other models like Documents, Journals, Photo-Albums
all of whom need to have *Pages. *This seemed to be a perfect case to make
a polymorphic relationship between Page and all these other models using
Pageable.
In such a case, I would like to understand why rails polymorphism doesn't
play well with inverse_of, and if there are any other solutions to solve my
use-case? Should I go ahead and make my own version of rails polymorphism
for this use-case?
Thank you!
*. *
