Hello
In my RoR application, I am using Couchrest_model to access a CouchDB database.
I have a model which represents an scientific Article. I am going to simplify my model to explain it better. An article can have a title, a year and one or more authors.
In the couchDB database, an article can be represented like this:
article { title = "abc", year = "2012", author = { name = Paulo, age = 34 } }
(In the case the article only have an author)
OR
article { title = "abc", year = "2012", author = { [0] { name = "Paulo", age = "34" } [1] { name = "Philippe", age = "32" } } }
class Article < CouchRest::Model::Base property :title property :year property :author end
In the case my article have only one author, I can access author's information (name and age) like this: Article.author.name Article.author.age
But, how can I access the information of authors if the article have more than 1 author?
