require "active_support/core_ext/hash/indifferent_access"
module ActiveRecord
# == Single table inheritance
#
# Active Record allows inheritance by storing the name of the class in a column that by
# default is named "type" (can be changed by overwriting <tt>Base.inheritance_column</tt>).
# This means that an inheritance looking like this:
#
# class Company < ActiveRecord::Base; end
# class Firm < Company; end
# class Client < Company; end
# class PriorityClient < Client; end
#
# When you do <tt>Firm.create(name: "37signals")</tt>, this record will be saved in
# the companies table with type = "Firm". You can then fetch this row again using
# <tt>Company.where(name: '37signals').first</tt> and it will return a Firm object.
#
# Be aware that because the type column is an attribute on the record every new
# subclass will instantly be marked as dirty and the type column will be included
# in the list of changed attributes on the record. This is different from non
# Single Table Inheritance(STI) classes:
#
# Company.new.changed? # => false
# Firm.new.changed? # => true
# Firm.new.changes # => {"type"=>["","Firm"]}
#
# If you don't have a type column defined in your table, single-table inheritance won't
# be triggered. In that case, it'll work just like normal subclasses with no special magic
# for differentiating between them or reloading the right type with find.
#
# Note, all the attributes for all the cases are kept in the same table. Read more:
# https://www.martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/singleTableInheritance.html

#
# Consider the following default behaviour:
#
# Shape = Class.new(ActiveRecord::Base)
# Polygon = Class.new(Shape)
# Square = Class.new(Polygon)
#
# Shape.table_name # => "shapes"
# Polygon.table_name # => "shapes"
# Square.table_name # => "shapes"
# Shape.create! # => #<Shape id: 1, type: nil>
# Polygon.create! # => #<Polygon id: 2, type: "Polygon">
# Square.create! # => #<Square id: 3, type: "Square">
#
# However, when using <tt>abstract_class</tt>, +Shape+ is omitted from
# the hierarchy:
#
# class Shape < ActiveRecord::Base
# self.abstract_class = true

# Square = Class.new(Polygon)

# Polygon.table_name # => "polygons"

# Polygon.create! # => #<Polygon id: 1, type: nil>
# Square.create! # => #<Square id: 2, type: "Square">
#
# Note that in the above example, to disallow the creation of a plain
# +Polygon+, you should use <tt>validates :type, presence: true</tt>,

# stay in the hierarchy, and Active Record will continue to correctly
