How do I pass hashids as FKs to CRUD methods?

[gopz]

Assuming I have two classes:

Animal < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :dogs
end

Dog < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :animal
end

I can do
Animal.find(<hashid>)

...but not
Dog.create(animal_id: <hashid>)

Is this intended?

either load the record separately and reference it by the association, or if for some reason you need the actual numeric ID you can manually decode the ID

Dog.create(animal: Animal.find_by_hashid(<hashid>))

Dog.create(animal_id: Animal.decode_id(<hashid>))
