activerecord - Rails has_many meta data -

i have model declares multiple has_many relationships. there meta data available in activerelation such can loop through these has_many relationships when working model in order see how many has_many relationships model involved in, , access contents of each there?

some pseudocode (will not run) if helps clarify goal is:

mymodel.has_many_relationships.each |relationship|     relationship.contents.each |content|       # ...     end end 

sure can!

try searching "reflect_on_all_associations" in rails documentation!

reflect_on_all_associations(macro = nil)  returns array of associationreflection objects associations in class. if want reflect on association type, pass in symbol (:has_many, :has_one, :belongs_to) first parameter.  example:    account.reflect_on_all_associations             # returns array of associations   account.reflect_on_all_associations(:has_many)  # returns array of has_many associations
