# = Active Record Autosave Association
#
# +AutosaveAssociation+ is a module that takes care of automatically saving
# associated records when their parent is saved. In addition to saving, it
# also destroys any associated records that were marked for destruction.
# (See +mark_for_destruction+ and marked_for_destruction?).
#
# Saving of the parent, its associations, and the destruction of marked
# associations, all happen inside a transaction. This should never leave the
# database in an inconsistent state.
#
# If validations for any of the associations fail, their error messages will
# be applied to the parent.
#
# Note that it also means that associations marked for destruction won't
# be destroyed directly. They will however still be marked for destruction.
#
# Note that :autosave => false is not same as not declaring :autosave.
# When the :autosave option is not present new associations are saved.
#
# === One-to-one Example
#
# class Post
# has_one :author, :autosave => true
# end
#
# Saving changes to the parent and its associated model can now be performed
# automatically _and_ atomically:
#
# post = Post.find(1)
# post.title # => "The current global position of migrating ducks"
# post.author.name # => "alloy"
#
# post.title = "On the migration of ducks"
# post.author.name = "Eloy Duran"
#
# post.save
# post.reload
# post.title # => "On the migration of ducks"
# post.author.name # => "Eloy Duran"
#
# Destroying an associated model, as part of the parent's save action, is as
# simple as marking it for destruction:
#
# post.author.mark_for_destruction
# post.author.marked_for_destruction? # => true
#
# Note that the model is _not_ yet removed from the database:
#
# id = post.author.id
# Author.find_by_id(id).nil? # => false
#
# post.save
# post.reload.author # => nil
#
# Now it _is_ removed from the database:
#
# Author.find_by_id(id).nil? # => true
#
# === One-to-many Example
#
# When :autosave is not declared new children are saved when their parent is saved:
#
# class Post
# has_many :comments # :autosave option is no declared
# end
#
# post = Post.new(:title => 'ruby rocks')
# post.comments.build(:body => 'hello world')
# post.save # => saves both post and comment
#
# post = Post.create(:title => 'ruby rocks')
# post.comments.build(:body => 'hello world')
# post.save # => saves both post and comment
#
# post = Post.create(:title => 'ruby rocks')
# post.comments.create(:body => 'hello world')
# post.save # => saves both post and comment
#
# When :autosave is true all children is saved, no matter whether they are new records:
#
# class Post
# has_many :comments, :autosave => true
# end
#
# post = Post.create(:title => 'ruby rocks')
# post.comments.create(:body => 'hello world')
# post.comments[0].body = 'hi everyone'
# post.save # => saves both post and comment, with 'hi everyone' as body
#
# Destroying one of the associated models as part of the parent's save action
# is as simple as marking it for destruction:
#
# post.comments.last.mark_for_destruction
# post.comments.last.marked_for_destruction? # => true
# post.comments.length # => 2
#
# Note that the model is _not_ yet removed from the database:
#
# id = post.comments.last.id
# Comment.find_by_id(id).nil? # => false
#
# post.save
# post.reload.comments.length # => 1
#
# Now it _is_ removed from the database:
#
# Comment.find_by_id(id).nil? # => true
#
# === Validation
#
# Children records are validated unless :validate is +false+.
