module ActiveRecord
# See ActiveRecord::AssociationPreload::ClassMethods for documentation.
module AssociationPreload #:nodoc:
extend ActiveSupport::DependencyModule
# Implements the details of eager loading of ActiveRecord associations.
# Application developers should not use this module directly.
#
# ActiveRecord::Base is extended with this module. The source code in
# ActiveRecord::Base references methods defined in this module.
#
# Note that 'eager loading' and 'preloading' are actually the same thing.
# However, there are two different eager loading strategies.
#
# The first one is by using table joins. This was only strategy available
# prior to Rails 2.1. Suppose that you have an Author model with columns
# 'name' and 'age', and a Book model with columns 'name' and 'sales'. Using
# this strategy, ActiveRecord would try to retrieve all data for an author
# and all of its books via a single query:
#
# SELECT * FROM authors
# LEFT OUTER JOIN books ON authors.id = books.id
# WHERE authors.name = 'Ken Akamatsu'
#
# However, this could result in many rows that contain redundant data. After
# having received the first row, we already have enough data to instantiate
# the Author object. In all subsequent rows, only the data for the joined
# 'books' table is useful; the joined 'authors' data is just redundant, and
# processing this redundant data takes memory and CPU time. The problem
# quickly becomes worse and worse as the level of eager loading increases
# (i.e. if ActiveRecord is to eager load the associations' assocations as
# well).
#
# The second strategy is to use multiple database queries, one for each
# level of association. Since Rails 2.1, this is the default strategy. In
# situations where a table join is necessary (e.g. when the +:conditions+
# option references an association's column), it will fallback to the table
# join strategy.
#
# See also ActiveRecord::Associations::ClassMethods, which explains eager
# loading in a more high-level (application developer-friendly) manner.
module ClassMethods
protected
# Eager loads the named associations for the given ActiveRecord record(s).
#
# In this description, 'association name' shall refer to the name passed
# to an association creation method. For example, a model that specifies
# <tt>belongs_to :author</tt>, <tt>has_many :buyers</tt> has association
# names +:author+ and +:buyers+.
#
# == Parameters
# +records+ is an array of ActiveRecord::Base. This array needs not be flat,
# i.e. +records+ itself may also contain arrays of records. In any case,
# +preload_associations+ will preload the associations all records by
# flattening +records+.
#
# +associations+ specifies one or more associations that you want to
# preload. It may be:
# - a Symbol or a String which specifies a single association name. For
# example, specifiying +:books+ allows this method to preload all books
# for an Author.
# - an Array which specifies multiple association names. This array
# is processed recursively. For example, specifying <tt>[:avatar, :books]</tt>
# allows this method to preload an author's avatar as well as all of his
# books.
# - a Hash which specifies multiple association names, as well as
# association names for the to-be-preloaded association objects. For
# example, specifying <tt>{ :author => :avatar }</tt> will preload a
# book's author, as well as that author's avatar.
#
# +:associations+ has the same format as the +:include+ option for
# <tt>ActiveRecord::Base.find</tt>. So +associations+ could look like this:
#
# :books
# [ :books, :author ]
# { :author => :avatar }
# [ :books, { :author => :avatar } ]
#
# +preload_options+ contains options that will be passed to ActiveRecord#find
# (which is called under the hood for preloading records). But it is passed
# only one level deep in the +associations+ argument, i.e. it's not passed
# to the child associations when +associations+ is a Hash.
