Public Instance Methods

==(other_aggregation) click to toggle source

Returns true if self and other_aggregation have the same name attribute, active_entity attribute, and other_aggregation has an options hash assigned to it.

Calls superclass method

def ==(other_aggregation)
  super ||
    other_aggregation.kind_of?(self.class) &&
      name == other_aggregation.name &&
      !other_aggregation.options.nil? &&
      active_entity == other_aggregation.active_entity

end
klass() click to toggle source

Returns the class for the macro.

composed_of :balance, class_name: 'Money' returns the Money class has_many :clients returns the Client class

class Company < ActiveEntity::Base
  has_many :clients
end

Company.reflect_on_association(:clients).klass
# => Client

Note: Do not call klass.new or klass.create to instantiate a new association object. Use build_association or create_association instead. This allows plugins to hook into association object creation.
