6,896 PointsRails has_many :profiles, based on :teams
I have a collaboration application I am working on. A User has_many :teams, through: :user_teams. Each Team belongs to an Industry. Based on the Career, the user's Profile (class) will vary. Say EngineerProfile, will have attributes like credentials and eng_level. Another profile is Accountant. The AccountProfile (class) will have different attrs. Based on the teams the user is associated with, the user will have one type of profile (1 x AccountantProfile, 1 x EngineerProfile, etc.) based on the many teams they are associated with and the Industry each team belongs to. What's the best way to safely create this deep relationship based on these contingencies?
