# Associations are a set of macro-like class methods for tying objects together through foreign keys. They express relationships like
# "Project has one Project Manager" or "Project belongs to a Portfolio". Each macro adds a number of methods to the class which are
# specialized according to the collection or association symbol and the options hash. It works much the same was as Ruby's own attr*
# methods. Example:
#
# class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
# belongs_to :portfolio
# has_one :project_manager
# has_many :milestones
# has_and_belongs_to_many :categories
# end
#
# The project class now has the following methods (and more) to ease the traversal and manipulation of its relationships:
# * <tt>Project#portfolio, Project#portfolio=(portfolio), Project#portfolio.nil?, Project#portfolio?(portfolio)</tt>
# * <tt>Project#project_manager, Project#project_manager=(project_manager), Project#project_manager.nil?,</tt>
# <tt>Project#project_manager?(project_manager), Project#build_project_manager, Project#create_project_manager</tt>
# * <tt>Project#milestones.empty?, Project#milestones.size, Project#milestones, Project#milestones<<(milestone),</tt>
# <tt>Project#milestones.delete(milestone), Project#milestones.find(milestone_id), Project#milestones.find_all(conditions),</tt>
# <tt>Project#milestones.build, Project#milestones.create</tt>
# * <tt>Project#categories.empty?, Project#categories.size, Project#categories, Project#categories<<(category1),</tt>
# <tt>Project#categories.delete(category1)</tt>
#
# == Example
#
# link:../examples/associations.png
#
# == Is it belongs_to or has_one?
#
# Both express a 1-1 relationship, the difference is mostly where to place the foreign key, which goes on the table for the class
# saying belongs_to. Example:
#
# class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_one :author
# end
#
# class Author < ActiveRecord::Base
# belongs_to :post
# end
#
# The tables for these classes could look something like:
#
# CREATE TABLE posts (
# id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
# title varchar default NULL,
# PRIMARY KEY (id)
# )
#
# CREATE TABLE authors (
# id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
# post_id int(11) default NULL,
# name varchar default NULL,
# PRIMARY KEY (id)
# )
#
# == Caching
#
# All of the methods are built on a simple caching principle that will keep the result of the last query around unless specifically
# instructed not to. The cache is even shared across methods to make it even cheaper to use the macro-added methods without
# worrying too much about performance at the first go. Example:
#
# project.milestones # fetches milestones from the database
# project.milestones.size # uses the milestone cache
# project.milestones.empty? # uses the milestone cache
# project.milestones(true).size # fetches milestones from the database
# project.milestones # uses the milestone cache
#
# == Modules
#
# By default, associations will look for objects within the current module scope. Consider:
#
# module MyApplication
# module Business
# class Firm < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_many :clients
# end
#
# class Company < ActiveRecord::Base; end
# end
# end
#
# When Firm#clients is called, it'll in turn call <tt>MyApplication::Business::Company.find(firm.id)</tt>. If you want to associate
# with a class in another module scope this can be done by specifying the complete class name, such as:
#
# module MyApplication
# module Business
# class Firm < ActiveRecord::Base; end
# end
#
# module Billing
# class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
# belongs_to :firm, :class_name => "MyApplication::Business::Firm"
# end
# end
# end
#
# == Type safety with ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch
#
# If you attempt to assign an object to an association that doesn't match the inferred or specified <tt>:class_name</tt>, you'll
# get a ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch.
#
# == Options
#
# All of the association macros can be specialized through options which makes more complex cases than the simple and guessable ones
# possible.
module ClassMethods
# Adds the following methods for retrival and query of collections of associated objects.
# +collection+ is replaced with the symbol passed as the first argument, so
# <tt>has_many :clients</tt> would add among others <tt>has_clients?</tt>.
# * <tt>collection(force_reload = false)</tt> - returns an array of all the associated objects.
# An empty array is returned if none are found.
# * <tt>collection<<(object, ...)</tt> - adds one or more objects to the collection by setting their foreign keys to the collection's primary key.
# * <tt>collection.delete(object, ...)</tt> - removes one or more objects from the collection by setting their foreign keys to NULL. This does not destroy the objects.
# * <tt>collection.clear</tt> - removes every object from the collection. This does not destroy the objects.
# * <tt>collection.empty?</tt> - returns true if there are no associated objects.
# * <tt>collection.size</tt> - returns the number of associated objects.
# * <tt>collection.find(id)</tt> - finds an associated object responding to the +id+ and that
# meets the condition that it has to be associated with this object.
# * <tt>collection.find_all(conditions = nil, orderings = nil, limit = nil, joins = nil)</tt> - finds all associated objects responding
# criterias mentioned (like in the standard find_all) and that meets the condition that it has to be associated with this object.
# * <tt>collection.build(attributes = {})</tt> - returns a new object of the collection type that has been instantiated
# with +attributes+ and linked to this object through a foreign key but has not yet been saved.
# * <tt>collection.create(attributes = {})</tt> - returns a new object of the collection type that has been instantiated
# with +attributes+ and linked to this object through a foreign key and that has already been saved (if it passed the validation).
#
# Example: A Firm class declares <tt>has_many :clients</tt>, which will add:
# * <tt>Firm#clients</tt> (similar to <tt>Clients.find_all "firm_id = #{id}"</tt>)
# * <tt>Firm#clients<<</tt>
# * <tt>Firm#clients.delete</tt>
# * <tt>Firm#clients.clear</tt>
# * <tt>Firm#clients.empty?</tt> (similar to <tt>firm.clients.size == 0</tt>)
# * <tt>Firm#clients.size</tt> (similar to <tt>Client.count "firm_id = #{id}"</tt>)
# * <tt>Firm#clients.find</tt> (similar to <tt>Client.find_on_conditions(id, "firm_id = #{id}")</tt>)
# * <tt>Firm#clients.find_all</tt> (similar to <tt>Client.find_all "firm_id = #{id}"</tt>)
# * <tt>Firm#clients.build</tt> (similar to <tt>Client.new("firm_id" => id)</tt>)
# * <tt>Firm#clients.create</tt> (similar to <tt>c = Client.new("client_id" => id); c.save; c</tt>)
# The declaration can also include an options hash to specialize the behavior of the association.
#
# Options are:
# * <tt>:class_name</tt> - specify the class name of the association. Use it only if that name can't be infered
# from the association name. So <tt>has_many :products</tt> will by default be linked to the +Product+ class, but
# if the real class name is +SpecialProduct+, you'll have to specify it with this option.
# * <tt>:conditions</tt> - specify the conditions that the associated objects must meet in order to be included as a "WHERE"
# sql fragment, such as "price > 5 AND name LIKE 'B%'".
# * <tt>:order</tt> - specify the order in which the associated objects are returned as a "ORDER BY" sql fragment,
# such as "last_name, first_name DESC"
# * <tt>:foreign_key</tt> - specify the foreign key used for the association. By default this is guessed to be the name
# of this class in lower-case and "_id" suffixed. So a +Person+ class that makes a has_many association will use "person_id"
# as the default foreign_key.
# * <tt>:dependent</tt> - if set to true all the associated object are destroyed alongside this object.
# May not be set if :exclusively_dependent is also set.
# * <tt>:exclusively_dependent</tt> - if set to true all the associated object are deleted in one SQL statement without having their
# before_destroy callback run. This should only be used on associations that depend solely on this class and don't need to do any
# clean-up in before_destroy. The upside is that it's much faster, especially if there's a counter_cache involved.
# May not be set if :dependent is also set.
# * <tt>:finder_sql</tt> - specify a complete SQL statement to fetch the association. This is a good way to go for complex
# associations that depends on multiple tables. Note: When this option is used, +find_in_collection+ is _not_ added.
#
# Option examples:
# has_many :comments, :order => "posted_on"
# has_many :people, :class_name => "Person", :conditions => "deleted = 0", :order => "name"
# has_many :tracks, :order => "position", :dependent => true
# has_many :subscribers, :class_name => "Person", :finder_sql =>

# * <tt>collection.push_with_attributes(object, join_attributes)</tt> - adds one to the collection by creating an association in the join table that

# attributes on the join, which will be injected into the associated objects when they are retrieved through the collection.
