namespaces and table name relationships

[curtis741]

Using the example from the README, I'd expect a model with a name of Component1::Model1 to map to a tablename of component1_model1s. Outside of the Packwerk approach, that would normally be achieved by creating this in app/model/component1.rb :

module Component1
  self.table_name_prefix = "component1"
end

Then a everything would line up correctly between the tablename (component1_model1s) and the class name of Component1::Model1. However when trying to apply that to my local codebase, Rails is complaining that it can't find a table named model1s when it should be looking for component1_model1s.

I'm not really sure how you'd inject that. Maybe the metadata could also tie in an dynamic table_name_prefix value?

I could make a base active_record class for each pack we've got and set it up that way. It just feels like there should be a better way to do this.

@dvanderbeek On our project, we made a base active_record class for each pack, and set the table name prefix there. I'm not keen on assuming that the class is an AR model, nor that it lives in models (as opposed to models/filters or models/metrics or models/reviews/, etc.).
