Hi,
Considering this:
@article = Article.first(:joins => :category)
Does ActiveRecord provides a generique method such as .parent to call
the @article category? Something like @article.parent which is the same
as @article.category
Thx

An Article could belong_to several models, so you could have
@article.category and @article.magazine. How would @article.parent
know which ‘parent’ to use?

I totally agree, but it would be convenient to obtain an array of
multiple parents. Something like:
parents = @article.belongs_to
parents # => [“Magazine”, “Category”]

Look into reflections, there should be something in there you can rely
on.
