reciprocal ()

Returns the reciprocal association variable, if one exists. The reciprocal association is the association in the associated class that is the opposite of the current association. For example, Album.many_to_one :artist and Artist.one_to_many :albums are reciprocal associations. This information is to populate reciprocal associations. For example, when you do this_artist.add_album(album) it sets album.artist to this_artist.
