#create_association(*options) ⇒ Object

#validate?Boolean

Returns whether or not the association should be validated as part of the parent’s validation.

Unless you explicitly disable validation with :validate => false, validation will take place when:

  • you explicitly enable validation; :validate => true

  • you use autosave; :autosave => true

  • the association is a has_many association

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
