Hello !

I've a question regarding Rails and Active Record.

I've a class, for instance "Host" witch is populated with data from a remote API. I call a specific address and create my object. My object has a specific and unique ID.

I would like to add additional data to this object. This data would be stored in my MySQL database. I want to only store this additional data in my database and do the link with my ID.

My idea for a Rails POV is to add an extra parameter in my "Host" class with something like "host_extra" whitch is an ActiveRecord::Base class with my extra data and in my constructor in my Host class I do a HostExtra.find(id).

 

What do you think of my solution? A better solution exists to do something like that?
