Question

I have two models Listing & Building. Both will have an Amenity.

I want to create a polymorphic association between Amenity & the other two models, but I am not quite sure how to name it.

I was thinking of doing has_amenities, but that may be awkward if rails is creating a has_amenities_type column as the reference.

An amenity is like: granite counter top, pool, etc.

How should I approach this?

All the examples I see of polymorphic associations revolved around imageable, commentable, etc.

So not quite sure what to do here. amenitable? That seems…..wrong.

Answer 1

It’s a bit long winded, but how about can_have_amenities? That’s essentially what imageable / commentable / xxxable are saying, but it doesn’t sound quite so weird as amenitable…
