Question about has_many/belongs_to

rubyonrails-talk

Hi,

In the firm I work, we're disabling table name pluralization because this complies to our standards.

So, suppose I have a table client and a table contact_person (which has a client_id). I also have the models Client and ContactPerson for these.

In my Client class, I would have :

has_many :contact_person

and in the ContactPerson class I would have

belongs_to :client

Is this correct? Or do I need to pluralize has_many :contact_person?

Also, how do I get the collection of the ContactPersons associated to a specific Client object? I tried @client.contactPersons and @client.contactPeople, but neither seems to work.

I know this is all basic stuff, but I'm still trying to get my head around ruby/rails.

Thanks for your time,

Sven Magnus
