Create the model object.

rails generate scaffold LineItem product:references cart:belongs_to

Cart has many line items.

edit app/models/cart.rb
class Cart < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :line_items, dependent: :destroy
end

Product has many line items.

edit app/models/product.rb
class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :line_items
 
  before_destroy :ensure_not_referenced_by_any_line_item
 
  #...
 
 
  private
 
    # ensure that there are no line items referencing this product
    def ensure_not_referenced_by_any_line_item
      if line_items.empty?
        return true
      else
        errors.add(:base, 'Line Items present')
        return false
      end
    end
end

Line item belongs to both Cart and Product (But slightly more to the Cart). Also provide convenient access to the total price of the line item

edit app/models/line_item.rb
class LineItem < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :product
  belongs_to :cart
end

[deprecated] I18n.enforce_available_locales will default to true in the future. If you really want to skip validation of your locale you can set I18n.enforce_available_locales = false to avoid this message.
