Rails has_one / has_many, dependent option: What values are available?

Docs are available here

Looks like the following options are supported:

  • nil – do nothing (default).

  • :destroy – causes all the associated objects to also be destroyed.

  • :delete_all – causes all the associated objects to be deleted directly from the database (so callbacks will not be executed).

  • :nullify – causes the foreign keys to be set to NULL. Callbacks are not executed.

  • :restrict_with_exception – causes an exception to be raised if there are any associated records.

  • :restrict_with_error – causes an error to be added to the owner if there are any associated objects.
