has_one_attached(name, dependent: :purge_later) public

Specifies the relation between a single attachment and the model.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_one_attached :avatar
end

There is no column defined on the model side, Active Storage takes care of the mapping between your records and the attachment.

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

User.with_attached_avatar

Under the covers, this relationship is implemented as a has_one association to a ActiveStorage::Attachment record and a has_one-through association to a ActiveStorage::Blob record. These associations are available as avatar_attachment and avatar_blob. 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::One proxy that provides the dynamic proxy to the associations and factory methods, like attach.

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