Understanding Active Record Associations

In Ruby on Rails, associating models is quite trivial but does come with some conventions you will need to be familiar with as you build progressive web apps with the framework. This post is my attempt to get you to understand Active Record Associations within the Ruby on Rails framework.Consider this walk-through a quick overview of the associations you might make use of in a Rails application. These associations are a convenient way to get data to relate all the way down to the database layer. Every relationship happens within the model layer of the rails app. You can extend associations even further if need be depending on your own apps needs.
