Rails: Overriding ActiveRecord association method

Question

Is there a way to override one of the methods provided by an ActiveRecord association?

Say for example I have the following typical polymorphic has_many :through ass

Answer 1

I think you wanted def tags.<<(*new_tags) for the signature, which should work, or the following which is equivalent and a bit cleaner if you need to override multiple methods.

class << tags
  def <<(*new_tags)
    # rawr!
  end
end
