rails5 mongoid belongs_to/has_many data member not exist

Question

I have 2 classes feed.rb and ad.rb Ad has_many Feed Feed belongs_to Ad

class Feed
  include Mongoid::Document
  belongs_to :ad , optional: true

  before_save :generate_timestamp
  validates_presence_of :name

  field :name, type: String
  field :insertdate, type: DateTime
  field :addata, type: Hash

  def generate_timestamp
    self.insertdate = DateTime.now
  end  
end

class Ad
  include Mongoid::Document
  has_many :feed

  before_save :generate_timestamp
  validates_presence_of :name

  field :name, type: String
  field :insertdate, type: DateTime
  field :creative, type: String

  def generate_timestamp
    self.insertdate = DateTime.now
  end  
end

In the controller, it saves the ad as new object with list of Feeds

def addad
    @feeds = Feed.all
    if request.post?
        ad = Ad.new
        ad.name = params['name']
        ad.creative = params['creative']
        ad.feed << @feeds
        render plain: ad.inspect
        ad.save
    end
end

When I check the DB and print out ad object, there is no feed attribute

#<Ad _id: 58a11ef023040c07963ef885, name: "this is testing", insertdate: nil, creative: "Sample">

Is there anything I missed?

Thanks.

If you are use mogodb(mogoid) then you have to specify association in different manner like below

class Article include Mongoid::Document field :name field :content field :published_on, :type => Date validates_presence_of :name embeds_many :comments referenced_in :author end
