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.

A Reasonable `to_map` for `ActiveRecord::Base`

to_map

A to_map function is very useful when you want to convert models to PLAIN OLD DATA. Think presenters, conductors, APIs, JSON, etc...

Installation

Add this monkey-patch to your Rails project and call it on your model instances.

Martin Fowler on Service Objects via the Ruby Rogues Parley mailing list

On Tue, Mar 12, 2013 at 1:26 PM, Martin Fowler [email protected] wrote:

The term pops up in some different places, so it's hard to know what it means without some context. In PoEAA I use the pattern Service Layer to represent a domain-oriented layer of behaviors that provide an API for the domain layer. This may or may not sit on top of a Domain Model. In DDD Eric Evans uses the term Service Object to refer to objects that represent processes (as opposed to Entities and Values). DDD Service Objects are often useful to factor out behavior that would otherwise bloat Entities, it's also a useful step to patterns like Strategy and Command.

It sounds like the DDD sense is the sense I'm encountering most often. I really need to read that book.

The conceptual problem I run into in a lot of codebases is that rather than representing a process, the "service objects" represent "a thing that does the process". Which sounds like a nitpicky difference, but it seems to have a real impact on how people us

Example of integrating a Ruby on Rails app with Zapier using the REST hooks pattern. With support for triggering the REST hooks from Resque background jobs.
class Contact < ActiveRecord::Base
...
def after_create
if Hook.hooks_exist?('new_contact', self)
Resque.enqueue(Hook, self.class.name, self.id)
# To trigger directly without Resque: Hook.trigger('new_contact', self)
end
