What problem does it solve?

Delegated types solve the challenge of managing many content types that must share metadata and operations without duplicating data or complex queries.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Unified container: A Recording wraps multiple Recordables (Messages, Documents, Uploads, Comments) with shared metadata like creator, timestamps, and access control.
• Cross-type operations: Enables unified timelines, filtering, and actions across all contained types.
• When to use: Use when UI needs to co-mingle several content types and when centralizing permissions and audits is beneficial.

Quick Start

Start by modeling a Bucket-Recording-Recordable pattern in your Rails app, then connect your concrete recordables (Message, Document, Upload, Comment) to Recording and query via the central surface.
