Question

I’m working on an API in Rails and have hit a wall. I’m missing something stupid I imagine, but I can’t see it.

I can not get associations passed in the item.json to create an association. I thought that Rails would hook these up.

Answer 1

The relations for the accounts need to be fixed like so:

item.rb:

belongs_to :expense_account, class_name: "Account"
belongs_to :income_account, class_name: "Account"

account.rb:

has_many :items, inverse_of: :expense_account
has_many :items, inverse_of: :income_account
