Good morning
<nekkoru>
Anyone here?
<mbj>
nekkoru: jo, ask your question :D
<nekkoru>
Awesomely, I thought IRC was my best bet :)
<nekkoru>
I'm writing a simple sinatra app for a nightclub to help manage its sales and orders
<nekkoru>
I've got four fine Datamapper models that I'm not quite sure how to link together, and the documentation is too confusing for me to decypher in this heat (well over 30 degrees today)
<mbj>
nekkoru: So you have an associations/relationship question?
<nekkoru>
Yeah
<nekkoru>
I'm looking for someone patient enough to explain something for me in full five-year-old mode
<mbj>
nekkoru: I dont really have the time.
<mbj>
nekkoru: There are many association related questions on Stackoverflow, with code examples.
<mbj>
this should help you?
<nekkoru>
Yeah, I'm digging there right now
<nekkoru>
So far no luck
<mbj>
nekkoru: Can you summarize your problem in a gist?
<mbj>
I'll take a look, but I dont have the time for ping-pong, sory.
<nekkoru>
Sure
<mbj>
nekkoru: Just busy :D
<nekkoru>
Basically, I have two big models and two smaller ones, each of which belongs to both of the big ones. Is there a method I can use to create a new small record that will automatically get assigned to proper records in the big models?
<nekkoru>
As in, instead of using BigModel1(1).SmallModel.new?
<mbj>
nekkoru: given:
<mbj>
models A, B
<nekkoru>
Because if I'm not mistaken, this would create duplicates?
<mbj>
A.has_n B
<mbj>
B.belongs_to A
<mbj>
you can do B.new(:a => an_instance_of_a, :other_attrribute => :other_value)
<nekkoru>
So if B belongs to both A and C, I can do B.new(:a => instance_of_a, :c => instance_of_c)?
<mbj>
nekkoru: jo
<nekkoru>
Thank you so much :)
<mbj>
nekkoru: np
