Question

I currently have a model called Album which has_many :songs. I would like a user to be able to move songs from one album to another. Messing around in the Rails console, I have found that

song.album_id=2
song.save

works fine, but, I am having doubts that this is the right way to apply it in a real application. Is there a proper way to do this?

Answer 1

@album = Album.find_by_id(10)
#This is the album to move song
@song = Song.find_by_id(100)
#This is the song to be moved
@song.album = @album
@song.save
