How do I implement associations in searchkick - ruby-on-rails

First, the example I read in the docs shows to declare the associated model as singular, :address, but if I do I get the error Association named 'address' was not found on User; If I change it to plural :addresses, then the next problem I have is the association doesn't work in views undefined method `country' for ...
Why am I declaring the association as plural and how can I make the association available in the view
User.rb:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
searchkick word_middle: ['full_name', 'description', 'interests']
has_many :addresses
scope :search_import, -> { includes(:addresses) }
search.html.erb:
<% #users.each do |u| %>
<li>
<%= link_to "#{u.first_name} #{u.middle_name} #{u.last_name}", page_path(name: u.name) %>
<% #ua=u.addresses.where("current=?", true) %>
<% if #ua.country=="US" %>
<%= #ua.city %>, <%= #ua.state %> <%= ISO3166::Country.find_country_by_alpha2(#ua.country) %>
<% else %>
<%= #ua.city %>, <%= ISO3166::Country.find_country_by_alpha2(#ua.country) %>
<% end %>
</li>
<% end %>
</ul>

In controller, do this: #user = User.includes(:addresses).where(your_query) to make the association readily available in view.
And yes has_many associations are bound to be plural: "User has_one
:life" and "User has_many :passions"; does it make sense?
And finally your error: where returns an array because you queried: "bring me all records which fulfill this condition". find, on the other hand, will bring back 1 specific record as it expects a unique attribute or brings back first record that matches that attribute.
What you need to do:
You should either do this (if you are dead-sure that you will get 1
such record or you need only one of that type):
<% #ua=u.addresses.where("current=?", true).first %>
OR
If you need to go through all the resultant array then:
<% #ua=u.addresses.where("current=?", true) %>
<% #ua.each do |ua| %>
# Your code for each ua instead of #ua.
<% end %>
Happy Learning :)

ActiveRecord_Associations_CollectionProxy:0x0000000e490b98 in RoR

I'm creating a application using ruby on rails, but currently i'm suffering a problem like db relation, below my code:
Company
has_many :posts, :foreign_key => :company_id
Post
belongs_to :companies, :foreign_key => :company_id
controller
#post = current_user.companies.all
view
<% #post.each do |p| %>
<%= p.posts.post_title %>
<% end %>
Showing error above code.
If I debug like use <%= debug p.posts %> then showing all posts, which is under my companies but when I use <%= debug p.posts.post_title %> then showing ActiveRecord_Associations_CollectionProxy:0x0000000e490b98
Thanks
I think the problem here is that you are trying to call the method :post_title on p.posts, which is an ActiveRecord::Associations::CollectionProxy object.
In your example, p is a Company object, which has a method posts, which returns to you a CollectionProxy object that acts a lot like a list of posts. That list will not have a method post_title, but each element of that list will have a method post_title
So, instead of
<% #post.each do |p| %>
<%= p.posts.post_title %>
<% end %>
You will want something like:
<% #post.each do |company| %>
<% company.posts.each do |post| %>
<%= post.post_title %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
Two additional things to note:
1) The variable #post is inaccurately named. Inaccurate variable names will lead to confusion when trying to understand what is happening. current_user.companies.all returns a list of companies, and therefore, it should read:
#companies = current_user.companies.all
not
#post = current_user.companies.all
2) The actual error that is being shown to you likely says something like
Undefined Method 'post_title' for ActiveRecord_Associations_CollectionProxy:0x0000000e490b98
Not just
ActiveRecord_Associations_CollectionProxy:0x0000000e490b98
When debugging and asking for help, it's very important to note the entire message of the exception being raised.
Because companiy has_many :posts........ posts are objects you need a loop to show all posts e.g
p.posts.each do |post|

Using associations in Ruby on Rails

I'm learning RoR and I'm trying to understand associations. I've got two models - Company [name] and Note [company_id, notes]. As shown, the Note model has a company_id field to reference the primary key in the Company model.
Within a Notes view, I'm trying to display the Company name but I can't seem to get this to work.
I want to display
(SELECT name FROM Company WHERE Company.id=Note.company_id)
instead of note.company_id in the code below.
company.rb
class Company < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :notes
end
note.rb:
class Note < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :company
default_scope -> { order(date: :desc) }
end
notes/index.html.erb
....
<% #notes.each do |note| %>
<% if note.active %>
<p>
<%= note.date %>
</br>
<%= note.company_id %> - <%= note.contact %>
</br>
<%= note.notes %>
<!-- <td><%= note.active %></td> -->
</p>
<% end %>
<% end %>
....
To answer your specific question, try:
note.company.name
I would also recommend reading up on Rails partials, particularly how to render a collection: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/layouts_and_rendering.html#using-partials

Make a loop in a rails scope

Here is my structure:
Villa model with a belong_to association with a destination model (destination_id).
User model with a habtm association with destination model.
Today in my index view, I use :
<% current_user.destinations.each do |destination| %>
<% #villas.each do |villa| %>
<% if destination == villa.destination %>
<%= villa.name %>
<%end%>
<%end%>
<%end%>
It's not very clear, so can I make a kind of scope in my villa model to select Villas where destination_id == current_user.destinations ?
Thanks a lot
Why don't you list the children villas from the destination itself?
<% current_user.destinations.each do |destination| %>
<% destination.villas.each do |villa| %>
<%= villa.name %>
<%end%>
<%end%>
If you want to forgo this built-in functionality, or if you're scoping a query further from your #villas relation, here's how you do the scope as per these docs
class Villa < ActiveRecord::Base
# ...
scope :by_destinations, -> (destinations) { where(destination: destinations) }
# alternatively...
def self.by_destinations(destinations)
where(destination: destinations)
end
end
Then refer to it with
<% #villas.by_destinations(current_user.destinations) do |villa| %>
<%= villa.name %>
<%end%>

Rails Form element to convey two values

I have a form that takes bookings for an event for people. The form displays events vertically, and a name & checkbox for each of the possible people next to each event.
How should I best convey the two pieces of information that i need per checkbox? that is, the event_id and the person_id
I'm not totally sure wether I got you right. This is the model I assume you're talking about:
# event.rb
class Event
has_many :people
scope :possible_people, -> { #whatever .. }
end
# person.rb
class Person
belongs_to :event
end
# events_controller.rb
class EventsController
def index
#events = Event.all
end
end
And this might be a possible solution to change an events relation to people:
# index.html.erb
<ul id="events">
<% #events.each do |event| %>
<li class="event">
<%= form_for #event do |form| %>
<% event.possible_people.each do |person| %>
<%= check_box_tag "event[person_ids][]", person.id, #event.people.include?(person) %>
<% end %>
<%= f.submit_tag 'Save Event' %>
<% end %>
</li>
<% end %>
</ul>
The important part is <%= check_box_tag "event[person_ids][]", person.id, #event.people.include?(person) %> where you actually change the the relation of a specific person to the event.
Good luck ;)
Well, you can try out something like below line, I am assuming you have a multiselect checkboxes and i am passing a Hash of event_id => plate_id as value to checkbox.
<%= check_box_tag 'booking[event_people_ids][]', {booking.event_id => booking.plate_id} %>
You will get the value in params as:
booking => {event_people_ids =>["{"72"=>"3"}}
I ended up doing this:
<%= check_box_tag "booking[]", "#{event.id}-#{person.id}" %>
and then in then to process them:
params[:booking].each do |booking|
booking = booking.split('-')
a = {
:booking_id => #booking.id,
:person_id => booking[1],
:event_id => booking[0]
}
Appointment.create(a)
end
I was hoping for a more railish way to do it but this works.

rails - displaying nested find hash

I am trying to display the output of this find -
#test = User.joins(:plans => [:categories => [:project => :presentations]]).where(current_user.id)
Here is my output loop
<% #test.each do |p| %>
<%= p.plans %>
<% p.plans.each do |d| %>
<%= debug(d) %>
<% d.categories.each do |e| %>
<% e.project.each do |r| %>
<%= debug(r) %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
The loop works until it gets to project when it throws this error
undefined method `each' for "#<Project:0x000001033d91c8>":Project
If I change it to projects in the loop it gives this error
undefined method `projects' for #<Plan:0x000001033da320>
The debug at categories level shows this
--- !ruby/object:Category
attributes:
id: 2
name: test
short_name: tst
created_at:
updated_at:
category_id: 2
plan_id: 5
My relationships look like this
User
has_many :user_plans
Plan
has_many :user_plans
has_and_belongs_to_many :categories
Category
has_one :project
has_and_belongs_to_many :plans
Project
has_many :presentations, :dependent => :delete_all
Presentation
belongs_to :project
Do I need to changed my find ?
Thanks, Alex
Category has_one :project
so it is single object not collection thus no each method.
According to your relationship definitions, Category only has_one project, so why do you want to iterate over e.project? If you just want to show debugging output, replace
<% e.project.each do |r| %>
<%= debug(r) %>
<% end %>
with
<%= debug(e.project) %>
But if you want to go deeper, into presentations, do:
<%= debug(e.project) %>
<% e.project.presentations.each do |presentation| %>
<%= debug(presentation) %>
<% end %>
Your problem is that you are calling the array method .each on a single object.
category.project will give you a single Project object right? That's not an array, so you can't call each on it.
Replace this:
<% e.project.each do |r| %>
<%= debug(r) %>
<% end %>
with
debug(e.project)
While you're at it, here's some other advice: use descriptive variable names. Why does 'p' represent a test, 'd' represent a plan, 'e' represent a category, etc? Variable names should tell you what the object is. Similarly, i'd expect the variable #test to hold a Test object. In your code it seems to be an array. Use plural variable names for a variable that holds a collection of that type of object - eg #plans would be an array of Plan objects.
eg
<% #tests.each do |test| %>
<% test.plans.each do |plan| %>
<%= debug(plan) %>
<% plan.categories.each do |category| %>
<%= debug(category.project) %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
Isn't that more readable?
