Yeah, it’s the first method shown in the guide. It’s really just one workaround or another, because the polymorphic association is what I need more or less. Do you have any alternative suggestions? I tried the many-to-many method and it was a nightmare, and the guides are remarkably incomplete on the subject.
I read a few blog posts but they all recommended against the more complex approaches. I had implemented the many-to-many and it was awful, and I considered table inheritance in postgres but was advised against it.
Actually almost my entire domain has these kinds of relationships. I really shouldn’t be using a relational db but I really wanted to use elixir, and I have limited graph db experience so I don’t want to deal with more learning since I’m on a time crunch to get my mvp shipped.
