Ques 69. Explain a polymorphic association in Ruby on Rails.

Polymorphic associations allow a model to belong to more than one other model through a single association.


class Picture < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to : imageable, polymorphic: true
end

class Employee < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many : pictures, as: : imageable
end

class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many : pictures, as: : imageable
end
  • Here, the class Picture belongs_to both Employee and Product, but does so through a single association rather than through multiple.
  • Be sure to know an appropriate situation to create a polymorphic association, such as creating a comment model associated with multiple other models (articles, photos, etc.). The advantage of using polymorphism here is that it allows you to create a single comment model, rather than separate models for each one (PhotoComment model, ArticleComment model, etc.)

Procs, short for procedures, act similar to blocks, but can be saved as variables and reused. Think of them as blocks you can call over and over again on multiple arrays.
