Dirty Associations

Simple plugin to track changes in associations. Fully working, with proper specs to prove it, tested under Rails 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3

Example

class MommyChicken < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :little_chickens dirty_associations :little_chickens end class LittleChicken < ActiveRecord::Base end

and then you can do:

@mommy = MommyChicken.create(:name => “Gertrude”) @mommy.little_chickens.build(:name => “Junior”) @mommy.little_chickens_changed? → true @mommy.little_chickens_was → []

Does now also mixin with ActiveRecord::Dirty to override changed, changed?, changes, and reload_with_dirty.

Enjoy!
