Associations do not provide attribute writers about active_remote HOT 4 CLOSED

It would seem perform_association only defines reader methods with no arguments.

I'm working on an addition that will also create writer methods as needed.

from active_remote.

Nice. It would be really helpful to be able to set the instance variable to avoid unnecessary lookups.

Two question though:

1.) Should we have similar functionality with has_one?

2.) Should a remote object that doesn't exist be created if assigned using a writer method?

from active_remote.

I would think all association methods would get setters: belongs_to, has_one, has_many.

I'd say we should shy away from automatically creating associated records for now to limit the scope. We can make that future functionality.
