Reverse polymorphic associations in Rails

Polymorphic Associations reversed

It's pretty easy to do polymorphic associations in Rails: A Picture can belong to either a BlogPost or an Article. But what if you need the relationship the other way around? A Picture, a Text and a Video can belong to an Article, and that article can find all media by calling @article.media

This example shows how to create an ArticleElement join model that handles the polymorphic relationship. To add fields that are common to all polymorphic models, add fields to the join model.

An example using "yield self if block_given?"
# No yielding
class NormPerson
attr_accessor :first, :last
def initialize(first = nil, last = nil)
@first = first
@last = last
end
def hello
puts "#{@first} #{@last} says hello!"

joemccann / nginx + node setup.md
Created October 25, 2010 02:06
Set up nginx as a reverse proxy to node.js.

The idea is to have nginx installed and node installed. I will extend this gist to include how to install those as well, but at the moment, the following assumes you have nginx 0.7.62 and node 0.2.3 installed on a Linux distro (I used Ubuntu).

In a nutshell,

  1. nginx is used to serve static files (css, js, images, etc.)
  2. node serves all the "dynamic" stuff.

So for example, www.foo.com request comes and your css, js, and images get served thru nginx while everything else (the request for say index.html or "/") gets served through node.

  1. nginx listens on port 80.
