Association not working

[iamdriz]

I have the following two models:

class ActionType < ActiveHash::Base
  has_many :action_histories
  self.data = [
      {:id => 1, :name => 'call_started', :friendly_name => 'Call Started'},
      {:id => 2, :name => 'call_ended', :friendly_name => 'Call Ended'},
      {:id => 3, :name => 'email_sent', :friendly_name => 'Email Sent'},
      {:id => 4, :name => 'email_received', :friendly_name => 'Email Received'},
      {:id => 5, :name => 'note', :friendly_name => 'Note'}
  ]
end

class ActionHistory < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :action_type
end

And my action_histories table has action_type_id column for the relationship.
However when I try and access ActionHistory.all.first.action_type.name I get the error that action_type is not defined.

I've tried using extend ActiveHash::Associations::ActiveRecordExtensions and include ActiveHash::Associations but that doesn't get it working either...

I'm using latest version of Gem and Rails 5.0.1

Have you tested this with belongs_to_active_hash?

possibly:

class ActionHistory < ApplicationRecord
  extend ActiveHash::Associations::ActiveRecordExtensions
  belongs_to_active_hash :action_type
end

Some people have all active record objects extending ActiveHash::Associations::ActiveRecordExtensions but that is a style decision

@kbrock What would I have in the ActionType class? As having the has_many definition causes the error: undefined method 'has_many' for ActionType:Class. Adding the above code you posted doesn't work :/ so looks like the association isn't working.

It sounded like you already tried this
According to the specs, it looks like this should be working:

class ActionHistory < ApplicationRecord
  extend ActiveHash::Associations::ActiveRecordExtensions
  belongs_to_active_hash :action_type
end

class ActionType < ActiveHash::Base
  include ActiveHash::Associations # this looks like the one
  has_many :action_histories
  self.data = [
      {:id => 1, :name => 'call_started', :friendly_name => 'Call Started'},
      {:id => 2, :name => 'call_ended', :friendly_name => 'Call Ended'},
      {:id => 3, :name => 'email_sent', :friendly_name => 'Email Sent'},
      {:id => 4, :name => 'email_received', :friendly_name => 'Email Received'},
      {:id => 5, :name => 'note', :friendly_name => 'Note'}
  ]
end

Did you try something like this?
