CHANGELOG.md

[0.8.0] — 2024-11-08

Changed

• Renamed checks for related records: <associat>ful form is now used instead of a passive one (<associat>ed) to check for related records’ presence.
  • .<associat>ful — scope records having associated ones.
  • #<associat>ful? — are there any records associated?
• Naming: improved passive forms for words ending with or/ant/ion/ment/ing.

Added

• Checks for related records’ presence on roleless recursive associations:
  • .<associat>ful — records having associated ones;
  • .<association>less — records not having associated ones;
  • #<associat>ful? — if there are records associated;
  • #<association>less? — if there are no records associated;
  • #intermediate? — whether is only one child record associated (Is the node just a link between two other nodes like?);
  • #branching? — whether are several child records associated.

Fixed

• Naming: passive form for author.

[0.7.2] — 2024-04-02

Fixed

• roleless scope used to generate wrong queries.

[0.7.1] — 2024-03-31

Fixed

• DB constraints:
  • roles.name is NOT NULL,
  • UNIQUE constraints should treat NULLS as NOT DISTINCT.
• Roleless recursive associations used to fail on joins.

[0.7.0] — 2024-02-25

Changed

• Naming: improved passive forms a bit.
• Configuration: renamed self_related to self.

Added

• Checks for related records’ presence:
  • .<associat>ed — records having associated ones;
  • .<association>less — records not having associated ones;
  • #<associat>ed? — if there are records associated;
  • #<association>less? — if there are no records associated.
• Documentation: self-targeted relationships in README.

Fixed

• Documentation: examples in the README.

[0.6.0] — 2024-02-20

Changed

• Destroy orphaned relationships of an object on destroy.
• Symbolize configurable names used for associations, methods, etc.
• Raise ArgumentError for unknown names passed to the API.

Added

• Relationship[] to filter relationships by related objects/classes.
• Role[] accepts Hash-like parameters to filter roles by relationships.
• Methods for related records:
  • related? to check for related objects,
  • related to fetch them,
  • and the basic relationships.
• Recursive methods for related records:
  • flat ancestors & descendants with distance,
  • based on recursive association scope.
• roleless scope for related records without a role.
• A dedicated association for roleless children.

Fixed

• Faulty scopes in role-based relationship associations.
• Naming for namespaced models, e.g., in Rails Engines.

[0.5.0] — 2023-12-29

Refactored from Rails Dynamic Associations.

Some experimental features are missing and can be found in the api branch.
