Rails belongs_to one of two models -
i'm working 2 different models person , organization . among many other attributes, both person , organization can contractor . if working person model , wanted store contractor information contractor belongs_to :person , done it. seems contractor belongs 2 other models. i searched around on google , found lot of info how assign ownership 2 different models @ once. (for example sale must belong both buyer , seller .) in situation contractor either person or organization . there way elegantly store contractor information both models in same table? if not, figure can make 2 different contractor tables, figured might opportunity learn something. many in advance. maybe can try this. rails provide polymorphic-associtions . can try build 1 model named contractorinfo belongs contractable(use polymorphic: true), person has_one contractorinfo contractable, organization has_one contractorinfo contractable.
