Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`association`	`string`	No		The association (or list of associations) you want to allow to be set through the params. This argument is also aliased as `associations`.
`autoSave`	`boolean`	No	`true`	Whether to save the association(s) when the parent object is saved.
`allowDelete`	`boolean`	No	`false`	Set `allowDelete` to `true` to tell Wheels to look for the property `_delete` in your model. If present and set to a value that evaluates to `true`, the model will be deleted when saving the parent.
