Ask HN: Who and how uses ensuring_owner_was on ActiveRecord

1 points by ceritium 1y ago ↗ HN

Reading the docs for the `has_one` relation of ActiveRecord I found the option `ensuring_owner_was`

I didn't understand how to use it, so I looked for it on Github, but it doesn't seem very popular...

Look at actual ruby docs, not github.

Yes, I read the "Rails" docs—the same that you linked—but I wanted to see how other projects use it. My surprise was that only a public project on Github uses it.
