- What's this?
replace(other_array)
public
Replaces this collection with other_array. This will perform a diff and delete/add only records that have changed.
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :pets end person.pets # => [#<Pet id: 1, name: "Gorby", group: "cats", person_id: 1>] other_pets = [Pet.new(name: 'Puff', group: 'celebrities')] person.pets.replace(other_pets) person.pets # => [#<Pet id: 2, name: "Puff", group: "celebrities", person_id: 1>]
If the supplied array has an incorrect association type, it raises an ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch error:
person.pets.replace(["doo", "ggie", "gaga"]) # => ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch: Pet expected, got String
