Module Sequel::Plugins::DatasetAssociations::DatasetMethods
In: lib/sequel/plugins/dataset_associations.rb

Methods

Public Instance methods

For the association given by name, return a dataset of associated objects such that it would return the union of calling the association method on all objects returned by the current dataset.

This supports most options that are supported when eager loading. It doesn‘t support limits on the associations, or one_to_one associations that are really one_to_many and use an order to select the first matching object. In both of those cases, this will return an array of all matching objects.
