becomes removes associations

XMLWordPrintableJSON

      If you call becomes on a document it'll remove it's associations

      For example

      class Recipe
  include Mongoid::Document

  field :title, type: String

  embeds_many :ingredients
end

class RemoteRecipe < Recipe

  field :source_url, type: String
end

class Ingredient
  include Mongoid::Document

  field :name, type: String
  field :quantity, type: String

  embedded_in :recipe
end

      Now assume the following about recipe.

      recipe.title
=> "Chocolate Crackle Cookies" 
recipe.class
=> RemoteRecipe
recipe.ingredients
=> [#<Ingredient _id: 50494933aa113e7f6000001c, _type: nil, name: "Zucchini", quantity: "4 qts.">]

      if I then call recipe = recipe.becomes(Recipe) and now recipe is as follows

      recipe.title
=> "Chocolate Crackle Cookies" 
recipe.class
=> Recipe
recipe.ingredients
=> []
