Many to many relationships

[CV-Gate]

Is there any way to import a has_many or has_and_belongs_to_many relationship? A collection of ids? I can't figure out how to build the csv also.

Thanks for this great gem.

@CV-Gate , I was never used this in such case, do you have any real-live example and suggestions how it should work?

Sorry for coming back so late, I didn't get the notification.
When I had to deal with this in the past I have done it in two different ways:

• If using the primary key in the import, I repeated the line of the model instance as many times as necessary to include the relationships, leaving blank other fields.
• Other approach was to separate with pipes "|" the related entities into the same field. Just like an array.

Regards.

@CV-Gate, can you give an example with couple of csv lines and ActiveRecord models?
