module ActiveRecord
# AutosaveAssociation is a module that takes care of automatically saving
# your associations when the parent is saved. In addition to saving, it
# also destroys any associations 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 1 transaction. This should never leave the
# database in an inconsistent state after, for instance, mass assigning
# attributes and saving them.
#
# 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.
#
# === One-to-one Example
#
# Consider a Post model with one Author:
#
# 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
#
# Consider a Post model with many Comments:
#
# class Post
# has_many :comments, :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.comments.first.body # => "Wow, awesome info thanks!"
# post.comments.last.body # => "Actually, your article should be named differently."
#
# post.title = "On the migration of ducks"
# post.comments.last.body = "Actually, your article should be named differently. [UPDATED]: You are right, thanks."
#
# post.save
# post.reload
# post.title # => "On the migration of ducks"
# post.comments.last.body # => "Actually, your article should be named differently. [UPDATED]: You are right, thanks."
#
# Destroying one of the associated models members, 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
#
# Validation is performed on the parent as usual, but also on all autosave
# enabled associations. If any of the associations fail validation, its
# error messages will be applied on the parents errors object and validation
# of the parent will fail.
#
# Consider a Post model with Author which validates the presence of its name
# attribute:
#
# class Post
# has_one :author, :autosave => true
# end
#
# class Author
# validates_presence_of :name
# end
#
# post = Post.find(1)
# post.author.name = ''
# post.save # => false
# post.errors # => #<ActiveRecord::Errors:0x174498c @errors={"author_name"=>["can't be blank"]}, @base=#<Post ...>>
#
# No validations will be performed on the associated models when validations
# are skipped for the parent:
#
# post = Post.find(1)
# post.author.name = ''
# post.save(false) # => true
