関連付けによって一致 Cypher がどのように記述されるかが決まるため、その動作を変更するために呼び出されたときにメソッドをオーバーライドすることはできません。解決策は、さらに 2 つの関連付けを作成することです。
class User
include Neo4j::ActiveNode
has_many :both, :followers, type: :following, model_class: 'User'
has_many :out, :following, type: :following, model_class: 'User'
has_many :in, :followed_by, type: :following, model_class: 'User'
end
end
# Or, to make it feel more Ruby...
class User
include Neo4j::ActiveNode
[[:both, :followers], [:out, :following], [:in, :followed_by]].each do |dir, assoc|
has_many dir, assoc, type: :following, model_class: 'User'
end
end
