What's this?

has_many_attached(name, dependent: :purge_later) public

Specifies the relation between multiple attachments and the model.

class Gallery < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many_attached :photos
end

There are no columns defined on the model side, Active Storage takes care of the mapping between your records and the attachments.

To avoid N+1 queries, you can include the attached blobs in your query like so:

Gallery.where(user: Current.user).with_attached_photos

Under the covers, this relationship is implemented as a has_many association to a ActiveStorage::Attachment record and a has_many-through association to a ActiveStorage::Blob record. These associations are available as photos_attachments and photos_blobs. But you shouldn’t need to work with these associations directly in most circumstances.

The system has been designed to having you go through the ActiveStorage::Attached::Many proxy that provides the dynamic proxy to the associations and factory methods, like #attach.

If the :dependent option isn’t set, all the attachments will be purged (i.e. destroyed) whenever the record is destroyed.
