many-tomany creates foreign key attributes
Reported by Hery | April 7th, 2010 @ 05:08 PM
Hello,
Use rails 2.3.x
I this a feature or a bug ?
class Word
has_and_belongs_to_many :sentences
end
class Sentence
has_and_belongs_to_many :words
end
sentenza = Sentence.first
first_word = sentenza.words.first
first_word.attributes #=> {"label"=>"This", "created_at"=>Wed Apr 07 15:48:30 UTC 2010, "updated_at"=>Wed Apr 07 15:48:30 UTC 2010, "sentence_id"=>"1", "id"=>1, "word_id"=>"1"}
I just want to try to make a deep copy of an ActiveRecord::Base object but I can't use attributes method :
Here is my example :
words_attributes = sentenza.words.map(&:attributes)
new_sentenza = Sentenza.create(:label => "2nd Sentence")
new_sentenza.words.create(words_attributes) but it will fail (since word_id and sentence_id are not present in Word.column_names
Using a safe_attributes method will solve this issue but I am wondering if there is a better way to do it :
def safe_attributes
attributes.select{|a| self.class.columns_hash[a] }
end
And the call:
words_attributes = sentenza.words.map(&:safe_attributes)
